- Join us for a day trip from Tokyo where we visit Mount Takao (高尾山) to enjoy some hiking and a green escape from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. We enjoy some unique Japanese street food snacks that you can purchase while visiting Mount Takao (高尾山).
After researching Tokyo day trip one of the most interesting options was going to Mount Takao. We had spent quite a bit of time in both Osaka and Tokyo and we were both craving a day out in nature. In order for us to get to Mount Takao we took the Keio Line directly from Shinjuku station which only cost 381 Yen and took 50 minutes.
Upon arriving we decided to grab a bite to eat opting for Soba noodles and udon. To get up Mount Takao you have three different options. You can hike the entire way, go on a cable car or take a lift. The cable car and lift are both 480 Yen and we decided to go with the cable car on the way up and lift on the way down. In hindsight we feel the lift is a much better option for taking in the scenery without the crowds.
To hike to the top of Mount Takao it only took 40 minutes and we got to visit some fascinating temples along the way before being rewarded with incredible views.
On the way back we decided to try some unique Japanese street food snacks that you can find at Mount Takao. We had the following:
1) Tenguyaki (Angry bird shaped shells stuffed with red bean paste for 140 Yen
2) Ice cream with vanilla and a nutty orange flavor in a special cone
3) Matcha cheese tart with red bean paste - 250 Yen each.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Mount Takao from Tokyo and would highly recommend it to all of you guys.

Tokyo Day Trip to Hike Mount Takao (高尾山) + Japanese Street Food Snacks Travel Video Transcript:
Greetings from Tokyo, Japan. Yes, good morning. It is time for a day trip today. We've been spending the last two weeks in Tokyo surrounded by sky scrappers and concrete and we thought we need a nature escape. Yeah. And Sam has been talking about Mount Takao (高尾山) I feel like for weeks. For days. It has been a long time. I've been wanting to go hiking. I've been wanting to going to see the green side of Japan so yeah very pumped to be doing that today. So yeah that is the plan today. Um Mount Takao (高尾山) is about an hour west of Tokyo. So not too far and we're planning to spend the day there.
We have now made it to Shinjuku (新宿区) and we're looking for the Keio Line.
We just got our tickets. You can buy round trip tickets or one way. We want to take the cable car up and the lift down. So yeah we paid 480 Yen per person.
Now we have to walk about 40 minutes to the mountain top. But along the way they have a whole bunch of little shops selling ice creams and little street food snacks. And you have souvenirs stands.
Um so yeah it can take plenty of breaks along the way. And also so far the path has not been very steep at all. So yeah it is just a pleasant walk. It is nice and shaded. We're in the middle of the forest and I'm liking this. It is a nice little escape from Tokyo.
That is a wrap for our day trip to Mount Takao (高尾山). We really had a good time here. I have to say. Like not just nature but also the different modes of transportation that you can take up and down the mountain. Like the chairlift and the cable car. Sampling all of the food it was just a really fun day out in nature. It was relaxing. It was tasty. So yeah if you guys are spending a bit of time in Tokyo and you feel like you need a city break. This trip is super easy to plan. You can do it on your own and I would highly recommend it.
This is part of our Travel in Japan video series showcasing Japanese food, Japanese culture and Japanese attractions.

This is like the 8th video I've seen about 高尾山! I'm gonna do it all. Walk the trails, see the Tengu, photograph 富士山, fight off a wild boar, drink at the beer garden, and soak in the onsen.
Hi. I'm Japanese mountain lover and glad you enjoyed it. Ii's nice movie.
Thank you very much!
Lots of fun things to do in Japan!
For sure! This was such a fun day trip.
I love you guys, so normal and fun, very entertaining, super inspired
Thank you very much!
Two videos in one day? I feel like it's my birthday. But the traditional architecture is so beautiful!!
Ah, thank you! We're finally getting caught up on edits.
We just returned from Kyushu and I think Sam would love it there! Tons of nature, hiking, easier going pace and beautiful mountains and countrysides! Must go!
Thank you! That is so exciting to hear. Ah, we'd love to go next time. After Tokyo we spent more time in the mountains and countryside and it was our favorite part of the trip.
tripping to countryside in Japan is really nice experience. nature ,people, local food, Sake, and hot spring welcome you.
We really enjoyed the countryside in Japan - especially some of the smaller towns we visited later on our trip.
oh, I'm looking forward to watch the video. My fav destination is small islands, staying Minshuku and served many of local seafood dishes.
Sam did great slurping that soba, I was impressed, lol !!
Congrats on 200k subbies!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you very much! That soba was delicious :)
Audrey forgetting what a high five was at 10:56 was kinda cute :) great video guys.
LOL, thank you! That was a funny moment for sure.
Love trips to the countryside! Great stuff once again 👍
It was a nice green escape from the city. 🌿
Thank you for sharing all these amazing stops close to Tokyo...this will be us in twelve weeks time! I think we will add this to our itinerary.
Thank you! That is very exciting to hear. Hope you have an amazing trip.
thanks for the videos of Japan, we hope to be going there in may 2019,your advise and recommendations are great and are getting us excited
Thank you very much! We're only a 1/4 of the way done our series. That is exciting to hear about your upcoming trip.
Many Congratulations on 200,000 subscribers.
Thank you thank you!
You two make a lovely couple!
Thanks Suay!
What a great experience!! Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you! It made for a fantastic day trip.
another one for my "must do list" , and thankfully no rain ... ;-)
A great day trip for sure!
You guys are on fire!!! 2 uploads in a day?!!! Love them! The physical prowess part is so funny!!! We feel your pain! We take forever too when we hike! 😅
Thank you very much! Hahaha...we sure need to get in shape ;)
Thank you for a fun video. When the warm season comes, I want to challenge Takao climb.
Somewhat new subscriber, thanks for keeping it real. Looking forward to more.
Thank you very much!
I bought a Vinyard Vines shirt just like yours at The Fifth on Larco just down from Kennedy Park.
That is really cool to hear!
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I did this same thing!!!!! Love it that you put it in your iti.
So cool to hear! Was it one of your favorite day trips from Tokyo?
Definitely. You read my mind. I strongly suggest to those fitness buffs out there visiting tokyo to go here without the cable car ride. This is a good hike. Dont go here though during October when it is rainiest i think in tokyo. From my experience in 2017.
Rob ended up doing the hike on the way down. Definitely good exercise!
Alright fellas, let's have some fun and food in Japan, it's really amazing!
Thank you very much!
Im loving these Japan vlogs ❤️ keep it up with good work 😘
Thank you very much!
5:05 Audrey with the Slurps Up! 😋
Hehehe...gotta love slurps up!
Congrats on 200k subs
Thank you very much!
Thumbs up guys!! Well done!!
And congrats for the 200.000 followers! I'm ready for your next adventure! ♥️ Renata
Thank you very much!
Love your videos. It’s interesting to see how Sam’s personality changes just a bit when he’s with his wife versus his friend David. Not criticizing but interesting to watch :)
Thank you! That is interesting to hear! Anything in particular you notice so far?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I feel like Sam eats more and let’s loose with David more. Omg and if he says “dude” one more time err. I like Sam way more when he’s with Audrey. She makes him more “civilized” Lolol. (And yes I’m a wifey too so I would say the same about my hubby).
Takao is my hometown
Very cool! Do you visit Mount Takao often?
@@samuelandaudrey Yeah! I often visit there!
사실 다른나라 여행가면 산을 정말 안가더군요. 이런 영상 좋아요😊😊
고맙습니다! 산에가는 것이 사실 인 것은 여행자들에게 공통적 인 것이 아닙니다. 우리가 한국에 살았을 때 우리는 실제로 큰 인상을 즐겼습니다.
Wow another 1k subscribers since you hit 200K. Well done. Time for Audrey to let forth an "ooh la la" to the new subscribers.
Ah, thank you! We really appreciate the support. Ooh la la! ;)
Not sure if anyone else has commented on this, but going barefoot on the tatami is an absolute no-no in Japan. If you are wearing sandals, you should always bring socks with you. NEVER go barefoot on the tatami.
Thanks for the tip Teri!
It looks so peaceful
Thank you! It was a nice green escape.
Nice video, Japan is my favourite country. I love Japan culture , I love japanese people!! I love all about them!! :)
That is great to hear! We sure loved our time visiting Japan.
We hiked to Mt. Mitake that is a bit north of Mt. Takao. That was also nice.
That is really cool to hear! How long of a trip is that?
@@samuelandaudrey I put someones link here. matcha-jp.com/en/greatertokyo/5438
A trifecta of flavours going on. lol
LOL, I say some strange things quite often ;)
Wow 200k subs and 2 vids. My nose is bleeding. Exciting!!!!
Thank you very much!
600meters height, I recommend to hike.
Thanks for sharing!
Really cool place!
Thank you! It makes for a fantastic day trip.
What a beautiful day trip I loved the scenery and the yummy treats...Hey guys is it better for you if we watch the whole commercial on your videos???
Thank you! Honestly, only if you have time. Otherwise skip it :)
@@samuelandaudrey We will watch the commercials for you guys Love you guys
When you climbed the stairs, for one second I thought it was BATU CAVES of Malaysia ,Nice video hahahah
Thank you! Ah, it does kind of look similar!
I missed you guys! I was in Tokyo last week too
Our vlogs are a bit behind real time - we were there over the summer! I hope you had a great time in Tokyo!
Great countryside trip! But I think I would be afraid of going on that two-seater lift 😄
Thank you! Hahaha...we both were at first but then relaxed.
The soba looks so good
Thanks! It was truly delicious.
@@samuelandaudrey your welcome and it looks so delicious
Thanks for legends in portuguese

WHY ARE YOU TO SO LONG IN JAPAN??? I LOVE YOU GUYS!
We spent 2 months in Japan - that's why we have so many videos. 😉
@@samuelandaudrey WOW OK THANKS AND I LOVE YOUR !!! TAKE CARE
Japan is may called the matcha land. The green powder seems to present everywhere lol :))
Yes it is quite common.
Watching this makes me want to go back to Japan. :(
I hope you can revisit soon! Where would you like to go on your next trip?
@@samuelandaudrey If I went back to japan, I'd like to see mt. fuji and revisit Shinjuku Golden Gai mini bars. Our next trip is next month, visiting the deep south in the usa. texas, oklahoma, arkansas, Memphis , mississippi delta, cajun country, alabama and flordia!
Being Indian it seems to me food, transport are little more expensive ...
Yes, Japan is considerably more expensive than in India.
👍🏼 nice
Thanks!
I reckon this whole Japan series is the best of your adventures so far...but you should make these videos a little bit longer :)
Thank you very much! We'll try to make them longer in teh future :)
You should go to the the coffee shop where they have cats too
We did check out a cat cafe a couple of weeks ago.
Nice video

あなた方が製作した動画を良く拝見しております。東京からだと高尾山はとても良い選択でした。その選択からあなた方が、バランスの取れた考えを持ち、健康で？、健全な視点を持っている人達だと分かります。そして、あなた方が製作する動画を、私を含む多くの日本人も健康健全な意識で今後も視聴するでしょう。
日本人の意識も変わります。
Good luck
平成３０年１２月２９日（土曜）快晴 １７℃ 午前９：２２ 世田谷区より。
どうもありがとうございました。私たちはこの日帰り旅行を本当に楽しんだ。私たちは東京で多くの楽しみを持っていましたが、近くの自然に出かけることができてよかったです。
You left out another way to go up. You can hike. ;p
That's a really good point! Rob did the hike on the way down.
Hey guys, which destinations would you recommend for nature lovers? Me and my girlfriend were thinking of going in a 2 to 3 week vacation octobre 2019. We maybe would like to visit Japan...but it seems maybe a bit too crowded and doesnt seem to have that much nature destinations. Do you have any recomendations and does Japan have alot of nature activities (trekking, hiking)? Thanks :)
Takayama and Nikko are great places to go for countryside experiences. We'll be showcasing those after we're done in Tokyo.
I love your videos guys!! They are truly amazing! You have inspired me to start my own channel! I have just uploaded my first video would love some support and advice on It! Keep doin what you’re good at!
That's great to hear, Lucy! Just watched your Bali video and it looks like you had a great trip. Wishing you all the best with your channel.
山頂に自動販売機があるんだ。
変わった山だな。
自動販売機に気づいた。彼らは一部でアイスクリームを売っていました。
Will you be doing a 'Chistmas Special' round up of 2018? Would be awesome.
That's a really good idea! We don't have it planned but might be able to squeeze it in.
hey guys you eating food so much you must be careful don't get fat 😄😄
Thanks! That's a valid concern...haha
Does anyone know if you can get to MT. Takao with a JR rail pass? Any help would be appreciated.
We didn't have a JR Pass either, so you can get there exactly the same way we showed in this video. Keio Line from Shinjuku Station to Takaosanguchi.
@@samuelandaudrey Thanks I appreciate the help
😍
Song at 2:30?
U probably know
India = views
India is great place to start vlogging from
I mean , it gives sh!t tonns of views
:-)
:)
Omg...i just ran into your channel subtitled in Korean . And i found the korean ones horrible. It sounds ridiculous lol
LOL, yes, those are the automatic translations by CZcams...
A two mile hike followed by a lift ride down? Big deal. We "hiked" up AND DOWN this shit. Do the PCT, then make a video.
