Summary: 90 min to summit 599M Easy Day Hike for Beginners in Tokyo. I bet this mountains was the first outdoors adventure for millions of people in Tokyo. Holy Mountain. It's crowded. Not the most amazing hike but you can see Mount Fuji from the summit. Ride the cable car if you need. Just get out for some fresh air in Japan nature.

Mount Fuji : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSNHOzA_zPc&t=232s
Summary: 6 hours to summit 3776M Tallest mount in Japan. Be Prepared!The icon of Japan itself. Climbing Mount Fuji is a amazing feat. I hope everyone can take this trek to the summit of Mount Fuji. It's quite a experience. I've done it 3 times all during the day. Day Hike. Or bullet hike as some people call it. Go for it in July or August.

Mount Oyama : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0vGfuKHNRg&t=4s
Summary: 3 hours to summit 851M Beautiful Holy Mountain in Tanzawa-Oyama in Kanagawa Japan. Very simple day trip from Tokyo. Mount Oyama is a cool mountain with multiple temples and shrines. There is a cable car to take you to Afuri shrine if needed. But We are hikers are we not? Hike from the bottom! I think you will enjoy this excellent hiking day trip from Tokyo. One of the best hikes in Japan.

Mount Mitake : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubq285mNLwU&t=336s
Summary: Just sprawling 929M Hike to WaterFalls, Shrine and Rock Garden in this Tokyo Forest. This hike is REALLY fun. Mitake shrine is very cool to visit at the top of the mountain. So much to see. So much to do! You can connect to other mountains from this trailhead. Mount Mitake also has a cable car but as I mentioned previously, we are hikers! Please start from the bottom. You won't regret it. Okutama is just so beautiful in Tokyo. Love this nature around Mount Mitake. What a forest!

Mount Tonodake : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbS_k0lVwsI&t=356s
Summary: 4 hours to summit 1491M Best View of Mount Fuji in Tanzawa Mountain Range. This is my all time favorite hike in Kanagawa Japan. Tanzawa is so easy to access from Tokyo. Makes for a great day hike or overnight trip if you stay at the mountain hut. If you start from the bus station you won't have any issue making it to the summit and back down in about 4-6 hours depending if your filming youtube videos or not! haha. You will love this hike! Go for it and let me know how. it went.

Enjoy this Hiking Japan Guide. Good luck.
