Beer Mount — Restaurant in Tokyo

Long train ride from shinjuku to takaosanguchi. Up a slight slope and stairs to cable car. We paid for return tickets. Pleasant cable car ride. Many many stairs to the peak. Past monkey place and many shrines and temples. Many gift shops and snack places and vending machines. Lovely view at the top but Fujisan STILL obscured by clouds. The walk was invigorating. We went for the 2hr all you can eat and drink thing but to be honest, its not really worth it. How much can a person eat and drink? The food is plentiful but very average.

Took the chair lift down. 4 stars for the mountain. 2 stars...

(Mt Takao itself is 599 metres). My cousin had the crepe and she said it was very good. It was more...

All you can eat buffet and beer sounds good after a hike but sadly, the food is mediocre at best. We came on a weekday at 1PM when it opened and there was no line and probably less than 20 people eating at the same time as us. They were bringing out food in very small increments and not enough for even just 20 people. There was a chef on the bbq grill making shrimp but he only made like 10 shrimps and it was gone in a second. The staff and atmosphere made up for it since they were all very nice and views were nice. For 5000 yen a person, I...
