Hi, Japanese guy in 30's living in Tokyo. I usually go to Tanzawa, Okutama or Hakone for one day hiking or other areas for overnight. Looking for friends who can come with me. Any nationality welcome.

Hi, I might be up for a few hikes. I have a fair amount of experience both in Japan and overseas and I am not too far from Tokyo. Send me an email. richard.j.guy@gmail.com

Hiya, I am interested on weekend hiking (one day hiking) around Tokyo area but i never hike in Tokyo before...if someone is arranging the group trip, i would like to join too..

Hi Eliza

A friend of mine by the name of Brad Bennett (aka Racer X) run's some great group hikes into the Okutama mountains just out of Tokyo . He is a great guy and his hikes are alot of fun .

For hikes around tokyo tokyogaijins.com organize some good hikes. Also the book 25 days hikes around tokyo is old but has very good instructions on some nice day hikes.

I am interested in doing an overnight 2 day hike the first weekend of June the 6th and 7th. Some where within 2 hours of Tokyo..anyone interested? either camping or staying at a cabin/hostel/hotel overnight.

Weekend hiking around Tokyo

Can anybody recommend places to do some serious walking on a daytrip from Tokyo? Preferably somewhere a bit inaka. I' ve done different routes around Kamakura, Hakone, Takao-san and Nikko and would appreciate some more suggestions.
