Full description

This is a 8-hour experience from Tokyo, built around Takao 599 Museum, Mt Takao Monkey Park & Wildflower Garden and Mount Takao. It is run by Irie Tokyo Tours, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.

The price covers Monkey Park Admission, Takao 599 Museum, Hachioji Ramen Lunch, Natural hot spring visit and Towels for hot spring. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Takaosanguchi Station. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Irie Tokyo Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Jordan was a very attentive guide. He constantly observed my condition while walking and adjusted the pace accordingly, suggesting breaks or slowing down whenever necessary. Whenever we reached a scenic spot, he explained its history and shared fascinating stories and legends. He managed the hiking pace very professionally and always let me know in advance when we were approaching a more challenging section, so I could be mentally prepared. The soba noodles we had for lunch were delicious, especially the flavorful mountain vegetables. The adorable little monkeys were also a delightful highligh

Jordan was an amazing guide! He took me on an incredible hike, and showed me so many amazing sights on the mountain. The onsen visit after was the perfect way to end the day. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Jordan was amazing: very friendly, approachable, fit & very knowledgeable. Jordan made our day on Mt Takao & the Hot spring. We saw Mount Fuji from the top of Mount Takao - which is very exciting. The vegi Ramen we had for lunch was so delicious - truly amazing! Exceed expectations by far. Recommend this 1-day trip wholeheartedly to anyone in Tokyo: so full of different experiences & immersing yourself in the life of the Japanese. Love it 👍👍👍

this was an amazing trip!! Jordan was extremely nice and answered my many questions! the onsen was so relaxing, and not too hot at around 40 degrees, and the cold spring at 20. the actual hike was so beautiful, and the temple and shrines were magnificent. I actually got the chance to see the monks walk by as well.

I cant rave about this experience enough! Ive been in japan for only 3 days but this knocked everything else I've done, so far, out of the park. The starting town is super quaint and beautiful and the tour Jordan took us on including breathtaking nature, architecture, and views. Jordan knew the mountain and shrines like the back of his hand, leave no questions unanswered. After working up an appetite, the ramen truly hits the spot and the shop owners r super friendly. Then ending with a soak in the beautiful hot spring revives you before your journey back. I would recommend this experience to

Absolutely amazing value for the amount of activities packed into one experience - a wonderful experience at that! Our guide, Jordan, was an extraordinary host. His calm demeanor made it easy for us to open up and ask questions, which he would reply with memorable stories/insightful answers. This was one of the best experiences we’ve done during our 1st visit to Japan. Aloha and mahalo nui loa, Jordan! - Andi & Nick

Jordan was amazing. Knowledgeable and curious, patient, and friendly with a “no rush” approach to everything we did as a small group. He even fetched GF food for me when I was unable to have the ramen at the top of the mountain, which my friend said was incredible. His story of creating a life in Japan is one of many twists and turns and certainly deepens his cultural paradigm and approach when guiding these trips. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his expertise or to book another trip with him! Thank you! Dankjewel!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Takaosanguchi Station
Yes, if you tell us when you book rather than on the day. Dashi, the fish stock, is in almost everything, so vegetarian and vegan need to be named specifically and the host will plan a kombu-based version. Halal-certified restaurants exist in the big cities but are fewer, so say so early.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The duration of the Mt Takao Tour with Ramen and Tattoo-Okay Hot Spring in Tokyo is typically 8 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.

We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type. Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.
Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages. However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.

All payments are processed through a PCI-compliant secure gateway with 256-bit encryption. You can also pay in multiple currencies — the price is automatically converted to your local currency at checkout.
Yes, all AsiaByLocals guides are licensed professionals who have been rigorously vetted through background checks, skill assessments, and customer reviews. Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or late October to early December for autumn colour and the clearest skies. Contrary to most advice, October is Tokyo's wettest month (234.8 mm), not the June rainy season. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Tokyo guide.
Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card and budget ¥1,000–¥1,400 a day. Do not buy a JR Pass for a Tokyo-only trip — it costs ¥50,000 and excludes Tokyo Metro and Toei entirely. Note JR East raised Tokyo fares on 14 March 2026, so Metro is now cheaper than JR on several routes. See getting around Tokyo.
Shibuya Sky releases tickets only 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST — it cannot be booked months in advance. teamLab Borderless tickets drop at 12:00 JST on the 1st of each month. Our 3-day Tokyo itinerary lists every booking deadline.
Yes — a Japanese licence or an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. 1968 Vienna Convention permits are not valid in Japan. Licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan need an official JAF translation instead. Arrange it before you fly; see the Tokyo go-kart guide.
Yes — the highway bus from Busta Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko takes about 1h 45m for ¥2,200. But manage expectations: Fuji is visible on 84% of December mornings and only 23% of July mornings, and cloud builds through the day, so go early. Details in our Mount Fuji day trip guide.
Edomae sushi (the Tokyo Bay style, where curing began as a workaround for having no refrigeration), monjayaki — a runny griddle dish unique to Tokyo with 80+ specialists on Tsukishima's Monja Street — and soba. Also worth knowing: Tsukiji Outer Market never closed; only the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu. See the Tokyo food guide.
The crossing itself takes about ninety seconds. What makes it worth an evening is one street back — Nonbei Yokocho, a lantern-lit alley of tiny bars a minute away that almost nobody who photographs the scramble walks into. Note street drinking is banned in the area 18:00–05:00 year-round, though the ordinance carries no fine. See the Shibuya Crossing guide.
Yes, some. Japan's cashless ratio reached 58% in 2025, so over 40% of payments are still cash — and card refusal is most likely at small independent izakaya, ramen ticket machines and market stalls. Tipping is not expected anywhere.
