Nature Walk In Tokyo

Many friends asked me where to go shopping for  external hard drive when they are planning for trips to Japan or where the best Ramen or sushi places they can go to, but rarely do people asked about taking nature walks or going hiking in Tokyo.  For those who are planning to stay in Japan for longer than a month - you must not miss taking in the sights and scenery one of the most beautiful nature walk in Tokyo - Mt Takao.   I was told that going during the late spring is the best because of the fresh and bright greenery and the many different kind of flowers you can find there.  It is also the best weather to go for hiking.
