IKAHO TOY.DOLL & CAR MUSEUM

The museum displays toys and dolls from the early Showa period to the Heisei period, including the "Fukumatsu Ningyo" (vintage Japanese doll), only nine dolls in Japan. In another area of the museum, cars from the Showa period are displayed, making it a museum that people of all ages can enjoy.

This museum lets you enjoy Showa-era retro vibes, teddy bears, nostalgic cars, and even the world of Initial D.

It’s a fun experience that feels a little different from a typical public museum.

Great for a wide range of ages and for anyone, regardless of gender.

Hotel Takaone

In July of 2021, an inn was opened in front of Keio Takao Line’s Takaosanguchi Station. Not only just staying, but you can also have hands-on experiences at this “activity hotel.”

A reasonably priced place to stay, close to both the station and the highway exit.

The rooms have a simple design, and things like the bonfire give it an outdoorsy vibe. Even though it’s near the city, you can still really feel close to nature.

Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyu

Mount Takao is a Michelin 3-star destination that sees countless tourists from Japan and across the world. It’s also home to Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyu, a coveted daytrip hot springs spot located conveniently near Takaosan-guchi station so you can easily tack on a dip to your next hiking or sightseeing trip.

Gokurakuyu is directly connected to Takaosanguchi Station, so it’s super easy to get to.

It’s great that you can eat and drink while washing off all the sweat from hiking. I also like that it stays open later than many places nearby.

Mount Takao

Mount Takao is a peak with an levation of 599 meters, located in Tokyo’s Hachioji City. With good transportation access, it’s a popular placee to go mountain climbing. While still in the city, it’s like taking a trip to the countryside! From families with small children to the elderly, about 3,000,000 people visit every year. It’s world famous as the mountain boasting the most climbers in the world.

A mountain that’s close to the city center, and you can start hiking almost as soon as you get off the train.

Takao isn’t just about the trails—there’s also a cable car and lift, some small places to grab food, sightseeing spots, and temples and shrines. The whole mountain feels like a tourist destination.

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, but you can climb it even with fairly light gear.

Sanrio Puroland

Guests can meet Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and My Melody at this indoor theme park. Sanrio characters put on authentic performances like shows and parades that mix stories, dances, and songs together.

Since it’s indoors, you can enjoy it comfortably without worrying about the season or the temperature.

The interior and every structure are packed with Sanrio characters and tons of attention to that whole Sanrio vibe.

Of course the shows are great, and it’s also fun just browsing for character goods and souvenirs.

Even Tama-Center Station, the closest stop, is full of Sanrio characters starting right from the ticket gates, so one of the fun parts is people-watching and checking out the surroundings on the way to Puroland.
