100/100. Sorry for a long review but I will try to include everything so as to facilitate a reader.

Firstly, it would be better to consider a weather forecast. Since, in case of rain, the route especially around rock garden could be slippery.

Also, there is a different mountain Mt. Mitake in Hyogo region as well. So, don't confuse mountain with that one while checking the forecast.

I visited on 23rd of November and the fall foliage was in full bloom. Red, yellow and all type of leaves. There is a cable car and a lift both for ascending and descending.

Cable car : Takimoto station ---- Mitakesan station

Chair life : Mitakesan station ---- Top of chair lift

Cost of cable car is 600 one way (1100 yen two way) Chair life is 100 one way (190 two way)

Combined ticket of cable car and chair lift is (1320 two way)

Chair lift was fun and easy. It was like your feet could touch the ground. And for only 100 yen, was like a gold.

And view from cable car was stunning as well. I recommend using it at least for ascending. And seat in the 1st cabin downward to see the full view of Mitake and Oku-tama.

The trekking route is dangerous if you prefer to trek instead of using a cable car. Also there could be a possibiity of getting lost in the jungle especially in the dark (evening time).

Also using the chair lift, won't decrease your trekking time much since you need to come downwards from top of lift station to connect to the main route to shrine.

But both Cable car (for ascending) and chair lift (in particular) is definitely worth it.

Also, I recommend to take a map in the visitor service or in information center before ascending.

Then from top of chair lift,

It is an about 40 minutes walk upwards (with lot of stairs) to Musashi Mitake Shrine. It is a very difficult trek because of many stairs. Even we felt really hard at the end. Roads are all pitched though till the top of the shrine.

From Musashi shrine,

There is a trek to Rock Garden and Ayashiro waterfalls. Both are near each other. And roads are very big and easy to walk even for small kids. And the jungle view is stunning with red leaves, falls, river flowing and birds chirping.

It is a round trip from:

Cable car --- Chair Lift --- Mushashi shrine --- Ayahiro Falls --- Rock Garden --- Observation deck ---- Musashi shrine --- Chair lift ---- Cable Car

If interested, there are also trekking routes to:

Mt. Otake Nanayo Falls Mt. Hinode

There are probably other venues as well.

Finally, the last cable car and the bus is available at 18:30 pm so try to reach there as early as possible to enjoy nature peacefully while taking your time.

This is one of the most hiked mountain in Japan. So, it is definitely a must from the...

Magical mountain shrine with breathtaking views and a sacred wolf guardian 🐺

If you’re looking for a spiritual escape just outside of Tokyo, Musashi Mitake Shrine is a hidden gem. Located at the summit of Mt. Mitake, this ancient Shinto shrine is known for its guardian deity — the wolf, revered as a protector against evil and disasters. It’s a rare and powerful symbol in Japanese mythology.

The shrine is reachable by the Mitake Cable Car, which boasts the steepest incline in the Tokyo area — a fun and scenic ride up the mountain. From the cable car station, there’s a moderate hike of about 30–40 minutes, with some steep paths, but it’s a great workout surrounded by lush forest and fresh mountain air.

The atmosphere at the top is peaceful, energizing, and spiritually refreshing. Whether you’re into hiking, history, or nature, this place offers a bit of everything. You’ll also find some beautiful torii gates, stone lanterns, and panoramic views along the way.

Tip: Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and try to go on a clear day to enjoy the views!

Highly recommended for a day trip that connects culture, nature, and...

御嶽(みたけ)神社と読みます。画数が多くて面倒な時は「御岳」と書くこともあります。これを御嶽(おんたけ)と読ませると、木曾の御嶽山を指すことになります。すべてではありませんが、木曽の御嶽山の系統の神社の多くには、山丸三紋が使われていますから、幔幕や瓦などに見たら、それは木曽の系統だと思っていいと思います。信仰のベクトルもやや異なっていまして、武蔵御嶽さんは、大口真神(おおぐちまがみ/狼)さまを篤く奉っています。近世終わりまでは、ここも例外なく神仏習合がおこなわれ、現在も参道には菩薩や如来などの石仏が並び建ち、そして手厚く供物が備えられています。狼信仰が最もシンプルで分かりやすいかたちで続いている神社です。講社の参拝者によって支えられており、神社の境内地内に山上集落が形成され、この多くが宿坊を開いていて、それがまた神職の家庭であったりするところです。同じ狼信仰でも、埼玉の三峯神社とは成り立ちも神事の在り方も異なりますが、日々の寝起きや食事を通じて神域の中で生活する"町のなかに建つ神社であることが、参道を進んでいくと分かります。"東京都内を中心に、御嶽(みたけ)神社の末社ネットワークがババーッと広がっていて、講も多く現存し、分かりやすい山岳信仰の形態なので、崇敬者もとても多く散らばっています。その御嶽神社へ行くには、歩いていくのでなければ、青梅線の御嶽駅へうっかり乗り継ぎ進んではいけません。手前の青梅駅で降りて、ここからバスなり、タクシーを使うのが賢明です。御嶽駅にはタクシーの構内スペースが1台分しかありません。また、ここで呼んでも回送料金が発生しますから、青梅から乗っていきましょう。クルマなら、ケーブルカー乗り場に駐車場があります。参道はこの滝本駅から一気に急勾配を登っていく徒歩参道があります。鳥居の下から始まるそれが参道です。歩きたくない人は、ケーブルカーに乗っていきましょう。ここのケーブルは交通系ICが使えます。山上の駅に着いたら、誰でも分かる参道アーチのかかる尾根道が見えますから、そこを進みます。初めは、昼なお暗い崖沿いの木立の中を進みますが、やがて、民宿やユースホステルが現れますから、そこから先は飽きない登山道を進めます。この参道は、神社本殿までずっと舗装してありますから、とても歩きやすいのですが、急な下り坂、長くて急な登り坂が続きますから、ゆっくりマイペース進むとよいでしょう。やがて、数段の階段登って右折れたところから、両脇におみやげ物屋さんや飲食店が並ぶ場所に出ますから、そこを通り過ぎると、武蔵御嶽神社の随身門と階段に到着します。で、ここからが胸突き八丁で、山上の境内まで、程よい蹴込みの高さの石の階段がずっと左に右に続きます。階段苦手な方は、右手にクルマも通れる坂道がてっぺんまで続いていますから、選ぶことはできるんですが、急過ぎて行きも帰りもあまりお勧めできません。階段には適当な間隔で踊り場や腰掛けが設けられていますから、休み休み行くと苦になりません。蹴込には、楽しい仕掛け絵の彫刻もあります。晴れている日は、ときどき下界を振り返りながら登るのも楽しみです。やがて昔の授与所が見えてきますから、ここまで来てしまえばあと少しで本殿前へ出られます。この踊り場からは、宝物館(平日やってない)やトイレ(場所が場所なので女の子のおトイレは、あんまり期待しないほうがいいです/抵抗がある方は参道商店で一服しましょう)への連絡も可能です。ここからはもう、本殿が見えますので、上がって行ってお参りしましょう、授与所は左手にあって、いろんなお守りやお札、ステッカー、掛け軸などいろいろ売ってます。(キャラクターものはありませんが、有名な大口真神の護符は積み並べてあります。/こどもお守りも隠れた人気)細かいものをたくさん買う方は、ここの授与所は紙袋有料ですから、お求めください。小分けの袋には入れてくれます。昇殿してお祓いしたい方は、カウンターずっと右手に申込用紙があるので、一通り書いて授与所に出すと、しばらくして呼んでくれます。昇殿参拝する場合は、この神社は社務所から拝殿まで、ヒミツの地下通路を使って行き来します。これは、昇殿祈願申し込まないと分からない通路で、もしかするともっと下までつながってるんじゃないかと思わせる階段廊下です。拝殿から神殿までが非常に奥行き遠くて、玉串奉奠するときに、奥まで進んで行けます。本殿を外から一周すると、いっぱい境内社や摂社末社の祠があって、大口真神さまを祀っている社殿は、もっとも高いところの右手に、木垣に囲まれて鎮座しています。実はこの高いところから遥拝所があって、遥か前方に見えるお山にある奥宮を眺めて拝むことができます。奥宮は標高1000メートル越えのところにあります。参拝の帰り道は集落の中にもう一つ通路があって、そちらを選ぶと楽しいのですが、帰路であっても急峻な参道ですから、景色を眺めるときは、いったん立ち止まることをお勧めします。「霧の御岳」とよく言われています。平日の、それも冬の冷たい雨の日の早朝に行くと、人影もまばらで、霧が濃く、下界も見えず、お土産屋さんもまだ開いていないのですが、のんびり参拝と山歩きを満喫できます。 ケーブルカーの上の駅を降りたら、さらに少し離れたところにはリフトがあって、すこし先まで運んでくれます。徒歩で登ってくる方は、山道ですから、日の短い冬場前後は用心してください。山ですから、お腹を空かせた熊・鹿・猿・山犬・狼(まだどこかに群れでいるかもしれませ...
