Why choose this Tokyo Prefecture tour ?

Take the cable car round trip from about halfway up the mountain to the top station situated at an altitude of 831 meters. As this tour does not include authentic mountain climbing, even those who don’t have mountain climbing experience may participate. Walking distance is approximately 10 km. While this course is for beginners, there are hundreds of stone steps, slopes, and mossy paths on the course, so please participate wearing clothes easy to walk in and non-slip shoes, and use a backpack.
