Mt. Takao & Around

Note: The 2025 installment of this event has already taken place.

With an elevation of 599 meters, Mt. Takao is located within Tokyo, but is an oasis of nature that attracts about three million visitors every year. The fauna and flora on the mountain are protected under its designation as Meiji no Mori Takao Quasi-National Park.

The annual spring festival is a major event hosted by Takao-san Yakuo-in Temple. A special goma fire ritual and ascetic training is held at the main hall of Yakuo-in Temple, and a goma fire ritual is held at the Yukien stupa. Children in fancy attire parade to the temple from the cable car station in the middle of the mountain, with a crowd of visitors watching their approach. It feels like a classical picture scroll of spring on Mt. Takao. Enjoy the bountiful nature and the colorful festivities.
