Tokyo: Mt. Takao & Showa Kinen Park Autumn Foliage Tour

Escape the city and discover two of Tokyo's most celebrated autumn destinations on this full-day seasonal tour.

Your journey begins at Mt. Takao, a Michelin Green Guide three-star destination known for its beautiful mountain scenery and cultural heritage. Choose between options with or without the Mt. Takao cable car or chairlift ticket. Guests selecting the included option can ride to the mountainside, while those choosing the non-included option may purchase a ticket on-site or enjoy a leisurely hike along the forest trails.

With ample free time, you can explore at your own pace—visit the historic Takaosan Yakuoin Temple, stroll through peaceful woodland paths, or simply relax with a bowl of soba or freshly grilled dango at one of the local restaurants.

Continue to Ōmiharashidai Viewpoint, where sweeping views of the surrounding mountains await. On clear autumn days, you may even catch a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji, making it one of Mt. Takao's most memorable photo spots.

In the afternoon, travel to Showa Kinen Park, one of Tokyo's most popular destinations for autumn leaves. Wander through expansive gardens filled with vibrant maple trees and seasonal flowers, then walk beneath the park's iconic avenue of golden ginkgo trees—one of the highlights of the autumn season and a favorite spot for photography.

If you'd like to extend your experience into the evening, you can join the optional Autumn Night Light-up. As night falls, illuminated trees and pathways create a different atmosphere from the daytime landscape, offering a unique way to enjoy the colors of autumn. (Night Light-up admission is optional and requires a separate ticket purchased on-site. Adult: 1300yen, Child: 700yen)

Whether you're looking for scenic mountain views, historic landmarks, seasonal cuisine, or spectacular autumn foliage, this tour offers the perfect autumn escape just outside Tokyo.
