5.00I was thoroughly impressed with this entire tour. Jordan is an amazing guide who made our whole day enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the entire area and was able to answer any additional questions that we asked. I would highly recommend this tour with Jordan as the guide.

5.00This tour, with its combination of activities, checked a lot of boxes for me. I’m so happy that I chose this tour. I appreciated travelling outside central Tokyo, and walk the trails on Mt. Takao. We stopped at the nature museum, visited the monkey enclosure and the various spiritual/significant sites on the mountain. We ended the tour with a relaxing soak at an onsen. An excellent day out! I appreciated Jordan’s local knowledge and enthusiasm. He was very thoughtful in his approach. This tour is very accessible and a window into local culture. I would recommend this tour.

5.00Me and my partner had an amazing day touring Mt Takao and visiting an onsen with tour guide Jordan. He was very inviting and informative about not just Mt Takao, but Japanese culture and daily life as well. The views along the tour were stunning, and there were many exciting stops along the way such as the monkey zoo and mountain markets. The ramen we ate on the mountain was delicious as well. At the end of the tour, soaking in a quiet, tattoo friendly onsen was a great way to relax. I would highly recommend this tour with Jordan for anyone who enjoys the following: light hiking, good city and nature views, learning about Japanese culture, and relaxing in a traditional Japanese onsen.
Fun trip to the takao mountain

Sacred Mount Takao in Fall 2025

5.00If you seek nature adventures & being transported back in time, then this is a tour for you. Jordan, a phenomenal, seasoned & knowledge tour guide, absolutely loves conducting this tour and it shows in his enthusiasm when interacting with the group. Luckily we were able to experience Mount Takao on the last peak fall day of 2025. The colorful full spectrum of fall leaves blanketed the mountain and surrounding areas. Breathtaking!! Jordan’s tour touched upon the local flora, plants, animals & insects. In addition, he covered some of the historical mythology, folklore, Buddhist rituals, practices, philosophies of Mount Takao. You felt as though you stepped back into ancient time standing on the grounds of the shines & temples. For me, sighting 3 hawks while riding on the chair lifts & sighting Fuji-san at the summit was spiritual & lucky. Our day also included ramen on Mount Takao & relaxing at a nearby hot spring. While riding back into town we enjoyed roadside Christmas lights. Bravo, Jordan, for providing a unique & memorable experience, I can’t wait to take the Mount Takao tour during Cherry Blossom in 2026. Arigato gozaimasu!!❤️

5.00An incredible experience and great guidance from Jordan! Mount Takao offers the perfect balance between a challenging hike and a relaxing nature escape. I chose the hiking route to the summit, and I’m so glad I did. Jordan was amazing, he shared fascinating details about the local flora, fauna, and the history of the shrines we passed along the way. Once at the top, the view was breathtaking and seeing the majestic Mt. Fuji made me truly understand why mountains are so revered in Shintoism (something Jordan had just explained during the hiking). To top it off, we visited Buddhist temples on the descent, enjoyed delicious ramen, and ended the day at a traditional onsen (public hot spring). It was the perfect Japanese experience. Jordan is kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, I can't recommend him enough!
