Sacred Temple of Mt Takao

Get closer to the peak as you visit the temple

Located halfway between the mid-station for cable cars and chair lifts and the top of the mountain, this cultural highlight combines perfectly with the natural beauty in its surroundings. Starting from the grand gate behind the monkey park, a long path lined with prayer plaques and stone lanterns leads its way to the temple complex. The whole temple was built on the slope of Takaosan, which creates different levels connected by stairs and steep footpath. This makes visiting Yakouin more exciting and pleasant than other temples that lie on flat ground.
