    This is Mount Takao!
    Fall. To avoid the crowds coming to see the fall foliage, I got up early to hike the mountain. The cable car wasn't running yet, so I had no choice but to walk and enjoy the red maple leaves along the way. With all the colorful "fall foliage" competing for attention, I reached the "summit" before I knew it!
    It's conveniently located, and the trailhead is easy to reach from central Tokyo. You can make it a day trip, enjoy the fall foliage, and get some exercise—why not kill two birds with one stone?

    There are so many Japanese macaques!! The baby monkeys were adorable. I tried to spot the boss monkey, but there were just too many monkeys to tell at a glance.

    At the Monkey Park and Wildflower Garden, I took lots of beautiful photos. They're a great way to remember the trip and how close you can get to nature.

    You can see lots of monkeys here and even try feeding them, which is really fun. There are also some unique flowers and plants, and if you visit in March or April, you'll see even more varieties. I recommend coming here for a walk and to experience it yourself!

    Here at Monkey Mountain, you can watch Japanese macaques up close. For just 100 yen, you can even feed them! The keepers also give interesting talks about how the monkeys live.
