I used coworking for a day to research whether it would be possible to use it for work at work. Recommended for individuals who don't mind the noise from the seat next to them. A group of people who were having a meeting using a large monitor left their belongings on their seats and went out for over an hour. It has a local feel that you don't find in the city center. .The teppanyaki curry for lunch and the lemon squash free drink were delicious. The salad I ordered at the table next to me, served in a tree stump, looked delicious.I can't use it at work because it's not for work, but it might be good for personal use or for mountain climbing.

We went there for food after our hike, the meals we were served didn’t correspond to the photos on the menue. The portions were much smaller. We raised it to the waitress who did seem to care. Food was very average and portions really small. Not what you’re looking for after a hike, I’d pass

This place is very close to Mount Takao. Takao is pronounced the same as Kaohsiung in Taiwan. Basically, Japanese people stay here. The equipment of the camp is very simple. It is mainly provided as a temporary residence for people who want to go hiking in Mount Takao. Mount Takao The trailhead is about an hour away from downtown Tokyo. It is a backyard garden for Tokyoites. There are many trails on the mountain. The fir trees are very tall and many are over 450 years old. There is also a cable car that can be used to go up and down the mountain.Camp provides training courses but does not provide washing machines, cups and other facilities. You will hear the sound of trains.

Used for motorcycle mass two every day. Rates, facilities, and systems are the same as overseas dormitories. The international dormitory rooms are for men and women, so it's for people who are used to it. Staying on a Saturday for less than 3,000 yen is a relief. However, there was a problem with parking, and the garage was empty, so it was a good thing. If there is a customer in front of you, it might be a hassle to find a nearby P. Garage parking is ¥1200 on Saturdays and holidays! About half the price of humans.

I am often indebted to him during the Musabi correspondence schooling from Aichi Gamagori.It is used by many hikers who go to the mountains around Mt. Takao. Even guests like me can use it without hesitation. You can also take a city bike from Keio Takaosanguchi Station. Convenient location with a convenience store next door. There seem to be many repeat customers. The cafe on the first floor opens at 8am. I got a dark roasted tengu coffee.On the third night, I had a 30-minute chat with architecture students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I had a great time. It seems that many young tourists from overseas also use it. The international atmosphere is also nice.20230725Revisited. A brief chat with my roommate, a researcher (NEWYORKER) who travels around the world. After Japan, they will head to Scandinavia. So cool! Have a nice trip.20230803My roommate today is a medical student from Belgium. After that, he plans to climb Mt. Takao. When I told him I was from Aichi, he said he had been to Nagoya Castle. have a nice trip!

About 7-8 minutes walk from Takaosanguchi Station. Just a shower costs 550 yen (as of March 2024). Being able to rent trail running shoes is the best! The shower room can be locked, so there is no need for a locker. The locker dial was difficult to turn. Next time I want to try the Takao Mammoth Trail! !

I entered the store with my dog on the way back from climbing Mt. Takao.Dogs are allowed on the terrace only. I visited around 2pm on a public holiday, and was able to enter without a reservation. About half of the seats in the restaurant were occupied, and the terrace was reserved for private use.It seems to be a hostel, but I only used the cafe. I had Base Camp curry with bone-in chicken thighs and hamburger steak. Personally, I preferred the slightly spicy European-style curry with a whole tandoori chicken-style chicken thigh. I think it's a taste that will appeal to everyone.Personally, the curry was delicious, but what I liked about this restaurant more than the menu itself was that it was within walking distance from the trailhead and station, wasn't too crowded, and was dog-friendly on the wooden terrace. . The blue sky visible through the gaps in the tarp was pleasant, and my dog was basking in the sun. The staff were also kind to the dog, which I was grateful for.All major payment methods such as cards and mobile payments are accepted.Thank you for the meal. If I have a chance to climb Mt. Takao again with my dog, I would like to come again.

You can rent shoes for 330 yen. I rented Salomon trail running shoes and ran around Takao. It's nice to be able to test drive a certain distance. Recommended for those who want to try out the model they are interested in before purchasing.
