    I was really looking forward to taking the cable car up Mount Takao, but I didn't expect it to be even more crowded than I had imagined! The line stretched way out, and I was a little stunned just looking at it. You can really tell how popular the Mount Takao Cable Car is.

    Although the wait takes some time, you can also feel everyone's excitement about Mount Takao while standing in line. It's especially crowded on holidays and during peak tourist seasons, so if you want to ride the cable car, I really recommend arriving early. It will be more comfortable if you avoid peak hours.

    When it was finally our turn to board, we could enjoy the forest scenery along the way. As we slowly climbed higher, the view became more and more expansive. Riding the cable car itself is a distinctive part of the Mount Takao experience.

    The slope on this cable car is pretty intense! Riding it is a bit of a thrill. If you don't feel like hiking, the cable car is perfect—fast and super easy.

    I hiked up using Trail 1 and took the cable car on the way back. If you're worried about your stamina, I definitely recommend taking the cable car both ways!!
