Mount Takao - Popular Spot for Mountain Hiking in Tokyo

By -
It was beginning from my discussion with my manager at Honolu Halal Ramen Ebisu. When I felt that I was in Japan for a long time but I never did my hobby. Yup, my hobby is hiking. That's why I came into him for having his recommendation. 

What do I really want ? What kind of mountain which I want to climb up ? 

In summary, I want to climb up a mountain which is near from Tokyo, no pollution, high enough, so many trees and not as famous as Mount Fuji.

As a result of my expectation, Mount Takao is the best choice for my next trip. 

According to JNTO (Japan National Tourism Organization), Mt Takao is 599m high and located in western Tokyo. It is blessed nature's rich bounty and is designed as a National Park. About an hour from the center of Tokyo, it is a popular spot for mountain hiking.

How to get there ?
You have to go to Shinjuku and use train (Keio Line). Choose the express one, because it will be take about 45 minutes till the last train station (Takaosanguchi 高尾山口station). How much the cost you need to spend from Shinjuku to Takaosanguchi? For me, I usually check it on www.hyperdia.com before go. So, don't forget to check it first guys !
I also recorded a video when I was on my way to Mt Takao so that you can check it out on my youtube, here :



Actually, no ticket fare you should spent for climbing the mount. Indeed, for climbing up this mountain you have three choises. Which one is your choice ?
a. Cable car


b. Chair-lift

c. By foot

3. Katsura Woods Trail
4. Suspension Bridge Trail
5. Mt. Takao Peak Loop Trail
6. Biwa Waterfall Trail
7. Inariyama Trail

Gagal Ujian S2 di Jepang (Part 3)

By -
Dapat kartu ujian, bukannya bikin lega justru malah tambah dag dig dug karena ujian interview sebentar lagi didepan mata. Meskipun seminggu sebelum ujian udah bikin ribet si Taka karena harus nulis furigana di research plan-ku kemarin. Wajar, kemampuan membaca kanji-ku sangat rendah sekali. Jadi,mau gak mau harus minta bantuan Taka (lagi). Bisa bayangin kan ngapalin research plan dengan bahasa Jepang itu ibarat ngapalin teori-teori sosiologi berikut dengan biography tokohnya. Oh my godness !!! Kok gak hapal-hapal ya ? Bahkan sampai H-3 juga belum hapal. Gawat nih ! Padahal udah coba untuk ngapalin sendiri sambil ngaca di depan cermin, udah coba juga simulasi bareng Taka & Takako, sempet berhasil sih tapi ilang lagi. Karena sudah hampir desperate gara-gara gak hafal, akhirnya coba tanya-tanya senior yang udah berhasil. Maksudnya sih, biar bisa dapat gambaran tentang pertanyaan apa aja yang biasanya dilontarkan para sensei. Betul kan, ternyata ada beberapa pertanyaan y

Visa ke Jepang (Part 4)

By -
Panas teriknya Jakarta bener-bener bikin sumpek. Berasa seperti di pantai dan susah bernafas. Tapi lihat Monas ada di depan mata itu malah bikin seger dan lupa deh sama panasnya Jakarta juga macetnya. By the way , ini kan hari keberangkatanku ke Jepang, tapi kenapa aku ada di Monas dan bukannya ada di bandara ? Hal yang paling important banget adalah.... “ Aku belum ambil VISA .” Parah abis kan aku ini, padahal 10 jam lagi lho aku harus udah ada di bandara. Again , bismillah aja. Kalau rejeki kan gak kemana. Ini nih yang kayak begini, aku memang cewek yang tipenya cuek abis. Mungkin lebih tepatnya selow abis. Padahal VISA belum tentu pasti lolos lho, masih ada kemungkinan VISA ditolak soalnya. Mumpung masih ada waktu, akhirnya muter-muter Monas dulu sama keluarga. Entah ketika itu tepatnya pukul jam berapa, aku harus langsung bergegas pergi ke kedutaan pakai Trans Jakarta bersama sang kekasih karena waktunya udah mepet. Kami lari kecil-kecil gitu menuju halte sambil ber
