Takaotozan Cable Car

Reviewed By PhilippeJean - Ottawa, Canada

The cable car is the steepest in Japan and is one of the three ways to go to Mt Takao. There’s a chairlift or people can also go to the top by walking. The cable car is 930¥ return or 480¥ one way. It takes less then 10 min. to go to the top. From there you need another short walk (depending on the weather, icy pathway in winter) where if you’re lucky will be greeted by an a,axing view of my Fuji and Tokyo. It’s an extremely popular hike for family so best to go during the week if you like peace and quiet. Highly recommend.

Mt. Takao Chairlift

Reviewed By Wolin

The lines for the cable car were too long so we took the chair lift both ways. The view coming down was awesome. Getting on and off is easy and lots of help is provided. Much better than walking.

Toei Streetcar(Toden) Arakawa Line(Tokyo Sakura Tram)

Reviewed By TheWard

Riding this street car from beginning of end is a great way to while away a day (or half-day) in parts of Tokyo that few tourists see. Liking train travel or unique modes of transport helps. So if you like the Enoden (Enoshima Electric Railway) in Kamakura, you will love this. Get a day pass and jump on and off at points that look interesting along the way. There's backstreets and laneways to explore, Sugamo (the grandma's Harajuku), and Minowabashi shopping mall, along with a million other places. Discover unique sweet shops and eateries. You will find online guides which tell you what to look out for at each stop or if you like the look of somewhere, just get off and explore and then jump back on. We made the mistake of using our Suica card and spent quite a bit of money jumping on and off, so get the day pass.
