Mount Takao (高尾山, Takaosan) offers great hiking trails for beginners and is one of the closest to central Tokyo. Located within metropolitan Tokyo, it takes only about 40-50 minutes by train from Shinjuku.
We took the Keio line from Shinjuku to Takaosanguchi station. Direct semi-limited express trains, which take about 50 minutes and 390 yen, departs at 20-minute intervals. Takaosanguchi station, the line's last station, is located at the foot of the mountain.
Alternatively, you can take the JR Chuo line (550 yen, about 40 minutes) from Shinjuku to Takao station and transfer to the Keio Line (130 yen, 3 minutes, one station away) to Takaosanguchi station.
