From Jimba trailhead bus station (Jimba-tozanguchi, 陣馬登山口) to the Top of Mt. Jimba (Jimba-sanchō, 陣馬山山頂)

Walk along the road in the same direction as the bus wast traveling. You can find a sign beside a stone monument signposted “Mt. Jimba via Ichino Ridge” (一ノ尾根経由陣馬山) on the right side as you go about 100 meters.

Turn right at the sign written "Mt. Jimba via Ichino Ridge" (一ノ尾根経由陣馬山).

When you ascend the steep staircase, there is the mountain peak of Mt.Jimba. You can see 360-degree awesome panorama view include Mt.fuji and Kanto plain, Sagami Bay from here.

This place might be a best place to have a lunch, because there are three restaurants and hiking tables and benches on the summit of Mt.Jimba. Those shops offer some snacks and beverages including alcohol. Personally, I think the most delicious meal in those restaurants is a soba noodle with various vegetables and mushrooms (Jimba-soba, 陣馬そば) at Shimizu Tea-shop(Shimizu-jaya, 清水茶屋).

From the Top of Mt. Jimba (Jimba-sanchō, 陣馬山山頂) to Jimba trailhead bus station (Jimba-tozanguchi, 陣馬登山口)

The way to Jimba trail head bus station goes via Tochitani Ridge (Tochitani-one, 栃谷尾根). But there are no signposted Tochitani Ridge (Tochitani-one, 栃谷尾根) on this area. The way to return is on the left side path of the Fujimi Restaurant (Fujimi-chaya, 富士見茶屋) which is the most highest place restaurant on the summit.

Note that there are no signposted "Tochitani Ridge" (栃谷尾根) which is our return way on top of Mt.Jimba.

If you down stairs beside Fujimi restaurant, there is a signboard written “Tochi-tani 2.7 km” (栃谷 2.7 km) ahead 100 meters from the restaurant, you can go to Tochitani Ridge as follow this sign.

Ignore paths branching off to the left side, a little farther on. There is a new branch and then veer right side path at this branch as follow signposted “Tochitani Ridge and Jimba Trailhead Bus Stop” (栃谷尾根 陣馬登山口バス停).

A steep descent leads down to cedar and cypress forest. There are the most steep slope in this hiking course, let’s walk slowly with attention to slips and falls.
After 1 hour and 20 minutes or so, you reach Tochitani village, you can see tea plantations and yuzu plantation against superb view of Mt. Fuji. If it’s winter, you can buy sweet smell yuzu at the roadside stand.

Tochitani (栃谷) is a relaxing village with tea fields and Yuzu fields.

Go through the path in the village. After a while there is a place named “Tochitani Park Restroom” (栃谷園地休息所) with a bath room and a table and chairs. You can wash your boots in the tap with a brush.

ACCESS TO THIS HIKING COURSE:

Mt. Takao’s trail is just off the Keio Takao Line Takaosanguchi station | 京王高尾線高尾山口駅.
It takes about 1 hour by train from Shinjuku staition.

HIKING OVERVIEW:

If you can not enjoy hiking because it is too hot in summer in Japan.
How about hiking starting from the evening?
August 15, 2018 I went hiking at Mt. Takao at night.
There are two reasons.
The first one is to see the japanese giant squirrel at Mt. Takao at night.
Mt. Takao lives a lot of the japanese giant squirrel, but since they are nocturnal they can not meet without visiting at night.
Another reason is to enjoy the night view of Tokyo from Mt. Takao.
You can look over Tokyo from near the cable car platform. If the air is clear, you can hope for Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower.
The night view of Tokyo from mountain was simply stunning.

the evening of mt.takao

WHAT TO BRING:

• mountaineering shoes

• Sufficient water (1.5 liters on this day)

• Light snack (Sandwiches and rice balls etc…)

• the mosquito repellent spray

• changing clothes (If you visit a hot spring.)

• Light with red cellophane attached
↓↓↓↓

The japanese giant squirrel is very timid.
If you hit the light of the light directly, they may scare and may not come out of the nest. Be sure to put a red cellophane on the light.

 

SCHEDULE FOR THIS DAY:

Keio Takao Line Takaosanguchi station | 京王高尾線高尾山口駅(4:00 PM)
(Mt. Takao has some trails, but I chose Inariyama Trail this day.)

Mt.Takao| 高尾山山頂(5:30 PM)

Yakuo-in | 薬王院有喜寺(6:00 PM)
(you have to report the observation of the Giant Flying Squirrel to the company office of shrine which is called as Shamu-Sho 社務所.)

Takao station of cable car | ケーブルカー 高尾山駅(7:30 PM)

Keio Takao Line Takaosanguchi station | 京王高尾線高尾山口駅(8:30 PM)

As a result, did I see Giant Flying Squirrel?

On this day, I was able to see Giant Flying Squirrel, I will summarize concrete actions below.

6:00 PM
I arrived at Yakuo-in as planned, the sunset of this day is scheduled for 6:32 PM.
I immediately looked for Tree hollow which is the nest of Giant Flying Squirrel.

tree hollow or tree hole
tree hollow or tree hole

tree hollow or tree hole is a semi-enclosed cavity which has naturally formed in the trunk or branch of a tree. They are found mainly in old trees, whether living or not. Hollows form in many species of trees, and are a prominent feature of natural forests and woodlands, and act as a resource or habitat for a number of vertebrate and invertebrate animals.
Quote: Wikipedia

6:30 PM
I found 2 Tree hollows that seemed to be nest of Giant Flying Squirrel in 30 minutes after arrival.
One in the back of Oku-no-Fudoin and one in the middle of the staircase leading to the summit.
A few minutes to sunset, I waited for sunset.

6:45 PM
I kept observing the Tree hollows in the stairs for about 15 minutes, but Giant Flying Squirrel did not show up, I headed for another candidate Oku-no-Fudoin.
I came to foot of the tree and turned on the light and looked up to the Tree hollow.
Then …

There was! ! !

Clearly the red eyes of Giant Flying Squirrel from the Tree hollow were watching me!
Because Giant Flying Squirrel is afraid of lights, I knew that if I shine a lot of light on him, he will not come out of the nest.
Nonetheless, I could not hide joy and excitement in the face of the first Giant Flying Squirrel and I did shine a lot of light on to his nest many times.
But due to my misbehavior, Giant Flying Squirrel did not come out easily from the nest.

7:10 PM
The first excitement I found Giant Flying Squirrel settled down little by little, I tried to shift the light from the nest and shine a light on.
Then Giant Flying Squirrel was relieved, came out of the nest and showed me the whole picture.
The Giant Flying Squirrel I met for the first time was bigger than I imagined, surprisingly it was about the size of a cat.

The Giant Flying Squirrel is also called “a flying a zabuton” and is the largest species of mouse in Japan in the eyes.

7:15 PM
After leaving the nest The Giant Flying Squirrel wandered around the trees, for a while, then disappeared into the depths of the forest without flying through the sky.
I could not see The Giant Flying Squirrel which is flying this day after all in the end.
I think now, it may be because I was too excited at the Giant Flying Squirrel who appeared at last, and shine a light on too many times.

The lesson I got this day is that if you discover the Giant Flying Squirrel, do not shine a light directly on the light.
Apparently the Giant Flying Squirrel is a very cowardly creature, and if you shine a light directly on too, they will alarmed and will not move at all.

I can witness the giant of the Giant Flying Squirrel to fly at a later date, but it can be said that reflection at this time was useful.
It will also summarizes it in another blog.

HIKING OVERVIEW:

On July 14, 2018 we went hiking to eat “shaved ice” on the top of the mountain.
The shaved ice that I eat at the summit while watching the spectacular view from the mountain was the best!
This hiking course starts the Kobotoke bus stop, passes through the Kobotoke Pass, and is a trail of 8.8 km in length which goes to Takaosanguchi station via Mt. Kobotokeshiroyama.

At Mt.Kobotokeshiroyama’s “Harumi tea house” we ate a popular shaved ice, and at the end we relaxed at the Takaosanguchi station at the hot spring adjacent to Keio Corporation.
Mt.Takao is known as a mountain of faith from the Edo period, and mountain faith Yakuouin hall is dotted in the mountain 600 meters above sea level and forms a mysterious atmosphere.

Mt.Takao was selected as a three star tourist destination together with Mt.Fuji at Mt.Takao in Michelin in France in the Japanese version travel guide book in 2009.
Therefore, it became a very popular hiking course, and it was very crowded on the day.
For that reason, we chose “No.6 Road” instead of “No.1 Road” from the summit of Mt.Takao.
