We had an amazing experience at Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyu and it was the perfect way to finish our day at Mount Takao. We visited as two adults and two children after taking the cable car up the mountain and walking to the summit. After a full day of hiking, coming straight down to the onsen next to Takaosanguchi Station was incredibly convenient and exactly what we needed. The facilities are excellent and very well maintained. There is a large variety of baths, including indoor and outdoor pools, natural hot spring baths with different temperatures, a dry sauna, and a cold plunge pool. The outdoor bathing area is especially relaxing and feels great after a long walk. Soap and shampoo are provided, and we rented towels on site, which made the visit very easy and hassle free. Even though it was quite busy when we arrived, the staff were outstanding. They were constantly cleaning, checking the pools, refilling amenities, and helping guests, all while remaining friendly and efficient. The onsen is also very foreigner friendly, with clear signs and easy-to-follow instructions, which made the experience comfortable and stress free. After bathing, we stayed for dinner and really enjoyed the food as well, making it a complete and relaxing end to our day trip. Overall, Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyu is fantastic value for money and an absolute must if you are visiting Mount Takao. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking to relax after hiking.
Jordan was amazing. we were a little late due to train changes but the train was quiet clean and he was communicative and waited. it was just me and my daughter and we went straight up to the chair lift, learned the beautiful history of the mtn, learning about the monkeys and feeding them was cool. Ramen was amazing and so we're the staff. the hike up and down was a bit tough at times but we conquered it and got to to see the backside of the mtns on the other side. next was the museum at the bottom which was informative and then on to the onsen which was much needed. after an hr. he actually drove us to a closer train station so we would closer to return. def a must book! thanks Jordan
An incredible experience and great guidance from Jordan! Mount Takao offers the perfect balance between a challenging hike and a relaxing nature escape. I chose the hiking route to the summit, and I’m so glad I did. Jordan was amazing, he shared fascinating details about the local flora, fauna, and the history of the shrines we passed along the way. Once at the top, the view was breathtaking and seeing the majestic Mt. Fuji made me truly understand why mountains are so revered in Shintoism (something Jordan had just explained during the hiking). To top it off, we visited Buddhist temples on the descent, enjoyed delicious ramen, and ended the day at a traditional onsen (public hot spring). It was the perfect Japanese experience. Jordan is kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, I can't recommend him enough!
