#Hiking

Hiking in Japan, from half-day trips to the serious stuff. Mount Takao is the easy end, with no transfers from Shinjuku and a 1,090 yen ticket, while Mount Fuji opens only during a short official season and requires a 4,000 yen toll and a reservation made in advance. Getting to trailheads, what to carry, and when a mountain hut booking is required rather than optional.
