TENGU October Regular Tour

Our tour was held on Sunday 20 October. We were worried about the damage of Mt. Takao caused from the huge and strong typhoon No.19 recently hit Eastern Japan: there were the widespread damage like mudslide, flood etc. We did information gathering carefully before our tour, so that trails we selected were almost ordinary and safe. 

We had two young guests from Germany and they were staying in Tokyo as exchange students of a public university. We met at the Takaozanguchi station and caught a cable car and took the trail No.1 after we saw Shinjuku skyscrapers from view points.

Our staff explained several historic and impressive points on the way and our guests paid attention and listened to the explanation eagerly.

In front of Eight Dragon King’s Hall where is popular because of its offbeat idea of washing money: it is said that the waters of the basin were able to multiply the money washed in it.

After lunch we walked down to the chair-lift station through the trail No. 4: there was the popular suspension bridge.

Both of our guests were strong walkers, so we went back to the cable car station at the foot of Mt.Takao in the early afternoon and declared the finish of the regular tour.

It was very enjoyable day!
