Mount Takao Autumn Colours Report

Mount Takao is a great place to go during the Autumn Colours.  I recently went up to enjoy the beautiful red and golden leaves!  Check out our Mount Takao for information about how to do the hike yourself.

This little shrine is right at the beginning of the course, if you make your own way up instead of taking the cable car.

There was a long line of people waiting to walk through this stone ring.  Maybe it gives good luck?

Even the old grannies and grandpas make the effort to reach the top of Mount Takao.

This was also near the top of Mount Takao.  Dozens of little statues.

Around one of the shrine buildings, people have put coins below these little statues.  Very mysterious.
