๐๏ธ Mt. Takao Day Trip ๐ฟ | Hiking + Picnic + New Friends โจ
่ฉณ็ดฐ
Since we only plan this event for quality connection among small groups (6~8 people), so I am afraid that couples and temporary travelers will be deprioritized when the attendance list is full.

ค๐ฟ Escape Tokyo for a Day! ๐ฟ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Need a break from the city's busy pace? Let's escape to Mt. Takao for a day of fresh air, easy hiking, and good company. ๐๏ธ
We'll climb one of Tokyo's most beloved mountains together along a beginner-friendly trail, take in the lush greenery, stop by Yakuoin Temple, and finish with a picnic-style lunch at the summit while soaking in the panoramic views.
Whether you're new to hiking, love photography, or just want an active and refreshing weekend, you're very welcome to join. โจ
