A popular course for it's suspension bridge!

This is a course that traces the north slope of Mt. Takao.
This course is full of temperate forest trees, followed by beech and fir forests.

This trail is popular because there is a suspension bridge (Miyama-bashi Bridge), and it is a course with many climbers.

This path crosses Iroha no Mori Trail  and if you mistakenly take this path you will go down to Hikagezawa (Ura-Takao) and cannot go to the cable car station.

  This is the only suspension bridge on Mt. Takao. It’s a fairly solid bridge that doesn’t shake as much as you might imagine.
