Takao-san
Rude blue skies, a day off, and a potter about a mountain-top temple (Yakuo-in). Sigh. Could life get any better? If I'd realised how easy it was to get to Takao-san, I would have gone sooner.
Saturday is the start of the Momijimatsuri in Takao-san, but the leaves are only just beginning to turn. Give them a couple of weeks and the mountain will be awash with reds and oranges.
Of course, millions of Tokyoites know this so expect it to be crazy swamped with tourists.
