Best Hikes Near Tokyo 2025: Mt Fuji, Nikko & Beyond

Tokyo's position between the Pacific coast and Japan's mountainous interior makes it the perfect base for world-class hiking. The Mt Fuji climb is the iconic bucket-list experience, but the Tanzawa-Oyama quasi-national park, Nikko's sacred mountain trails, and the Okutama wilderness are all within 2 hours of Shinjuku and equally rewarding.
