This ticket is incredibly convenient! Just show the QR code on-site and you can board smoothly, completely saving time queuing to buy or exchange tickets. It was my first time experiencing a hike with a local Tokyo resident, and the cable car ride up and down was very easy. The panoramic views of Tokyo from Mount Takao are magnificent and absolutely worth it! The return journey was also very smooth, making it convenient whether you want to go back to Shinjuku for shopping or head to Shimokitazawa for its trendy and artsy vibe. You can easily visit two different styles of places in one day – highly recommended!
