丹沢山系/Tanzawa mountains
塔ノ岳/とうのだけ/Tounodake
- a 6 hours trip, great views, and one place with “climbing down with a chains”
Nabewariyama/鍋割山
- a 5.5 hours trip, with great Udon on the mountain top
大山(Mount Ouyama, 神奈川県)
- a 4 hours/8 km trip, including temple and shrines
箱根地域/Hakone area
明神ヶ岳/Myoujingatake
- visited: 20190816
- start at the Saijoji Parking Lot, Daiyucho, Minamiashigara, Kanagawa 250-0127. Planning with google maps works, for me it meant to take the train and then 2 buses. (2h30m from home for me)
- right at the start, there is a nice Buddhist temple area
- then go to Myoujingatake top, might take 2 or 3 hours, if you do not come off the path as I did
- no stores at the top, but depending on weather nice views
- then way back on the other side of the mountain to bus station 箱根登山バス 宮城野営業所, takes 150min
- then via bus and train back to Tokyo, took 2h30m for me
- The mountain is ok, but hard to reach for me. For example 鍋割山 in the vicinity is much better to reach and has also nice views.
奥多摩/Okutama area
御嶽山/(Mnt. Mitake)/大岳山(Odake)

- take train to Takaosanguchi(高尾山口), 60min from Shinjuku
- then ropeway, or lift, or climb to Takao-san. Takao-san is not very challenging, but a nice start, and along the way there are temples and shrines. When at the top of Takao-san, one can also decide to go further: to one, two or even 3 mountains nearby. See Jinbasan notes.

- When going down again via cablecar or by foot, there are several Onsen. 3 are part of hotels and only open for non-hotel-guests until 3pm. A small onsen exists and is free for normal customers, also after 3pm.
