  Map of the trails on Mt Takao cute little cars Entrance to the cable car and tram (chairlift?).  The cable car didn't start running yet so we started hiking Flying squirrel If we'd had a printout of this in Kanji, we probably wouldn't have gotten lost

  We took trail #6 up Feels like a rain forest - everything is dark and wet and lots of moss Blurry shot of the stream the trail followed Blurry - Shrine to the side of the trail

  Just when we thought we would be at the top... steps... and more steps... At the top, view through the trees

  Would be even more beautiful on a clear day, but it wasn't raining so it was very pretty The stream on the way down After taking a wrong turn on the way down, we hiked down a road.. and down... and further...  Here's a rice paddy

  And a road and a train-line under construction above us And fun signs along the way... after about an hour we finally made it back to civilization
