Why locals recommend it
On the west side of Tokyo, this mountain is a popular destination. It’s a great place to see the diversity of Japan’s vegetation, featuring all sorts of broad-leaved trees and evergreen plants. The diversity extends to living things, too, as many rare dragonflies and butterflies, among other insects, live here. I recommend taking the hiking path called Uratakao. After you cross a bridge, you’ll be on a mountain path surrounded by the most serene nature on the mountain.

Historical and viewable mountain. You can go up by cable car to have panorama view where get better during evening to night time. Also soba noodle is major around there.

Mount Takao (高尾山, Takaosan) is one of the closest natural recreation areas to central Tokyo, offering beautiful scenery, an interesting temple and attractive hiking opportunities. Although outside the city center, the mountain is still located within metropolitan Tokyo and takes only 50 minutes and 390 yen to reach from Shinjuku.

You can make a half day trip from centre of Tokyo. There are some trekking courses and I recommend you not to take the easiest one. You can eat soba noodle on the top of the mountain.
