Trail description

An easy and hugely popular mountain on the edge of Tokyo, reached in under an hour from Shinjuku. The main path passes a mountaintop temple to a summit with views back to the city and, on clear winter days, out to Mount Fuji. Paved in places and busy at weekends, it is a great first hike.
