I hiked up Mt. Takao to eat?! Probably the easiest mountain to climb in Tokyo!

    So very happy that you reached 2K, you deserve so much to keep growing! ❤️ we had Mt Takao on our radar but somehow always did other different getaways from Tokyo, it is very lovely! I am a little afraid of heights but I think I would like to try the chair lift, is it each chair for one person only? And that tempura & soba looked so delish 🤤😋 about the monkey park I think I prefer the one at Arashiyama in Kyoto, have you visited? It is fully open and the monkeys are free to roam wherever they want on the mountain 🐵❤️

      Thank you so much! Actually quite shocked we’ve reached 2k but we are really so grateful! We did a little happy dance this morning when we saw we had reached 2k. Lol
      Awww! You should have gone still! The main route(Omotesando Trail) is negative percent dangerous. Lol the chair lift can fit two so you and your husband can definitely go on it together! ❤️
      The tempura was TOP NOTCH! I didn’t want to stop eating! I was sad when I finished everything. Hahahaha the diba and tempura together was definitely perfection!
      I’ve been to Kyoto but I didn’t go to the monkey park! I’m sure it’s so much better! I felt like the one in Mt Takao was a little too small for 80 monkeys. They were super cute though. Haha

    Somehow, whenever we go, most restaurants are closed ... we might eat some grilled mochi on a stick, but usually we bring onigiri :D And congrats on 2K!

      @whatchuHANAdo  2 роки тому

      Oh no!! That’s unfortunate! 😔 Even the restaurants at the base? The ones on the peak are a tad bit pricey so we also bring onigiri whenever we climb hahaha can’t go wrong with some onigiri! Which one is your favorite?
      Thank you so much! 🥹 We are really grateful!

    All the pickled veggies and herbs look amazing!! I'm obsessed with sides like such,, you just can't stop picking at it and it's super home-y/nostalgic :')) Huge fan of your videos, can't believe I just found you now. Congrats on hitting 2k! ❤

      Whaaaat you are the absolute sweetest! 💕 I’m also super obsessed with pickles and sides. They just make the meal so much more fun and delicious! Haha honestly, I wanted more but I knew we were going to have a full meal right after so I had to hold back. Lol
      Oh yes! You’re absolutely right! The little black markings! It just might be persimmon! It didn’t taste like persimmon anymore though. 😭
      Thank you so much, Nina! ❤️

      RIGHT?! Best grilled mochi EVER. It's been on my mind ever since I went up Takao the first time. Next time, you can just take either the chair lift or the cable car! The grilled mochi will greet you immediately. Haha

      I know :( and some of the monkeys are losing hair. When we talked to the keepers, they knew all the monkeys by name and face and they really do their best to take care of the monkeys...the environment just isn't good. :( They are surrounded by a lot of trees and plants though! I wonder if they're given time to play outdoors? Wishful thinking.
