Forest bathing

 Even in Tokyo, you can enjoy walking in rich greenery in a mountain area.  The place is Mt, Takao. It takes one hour from the downtown, Shinjuku to a station near the starting point of the mountain paths by train. I have one more pleasure after 90 minute-climb up to the peak of the mountain. It is a local specialty in Takao, Tororo Soba which literally means buckwheat noodle topped with grated yam. Ah, I am very happy !

I enjoy it at a traditional-style cafe near the peak of Mt. takao.
