This workshop sells glass tableware, accessories, and interior pieces, all carefully crafted by artisans. Since each item is handmade, every piece is unique, so finding your favorite feels like a treasure hunt—super fun!
If you’re lucky, you might catch the artisans at work in the on-site studio. Watching them create with such focus is really impressive.
They also offer glass-making experiences, but you’ll need to book ahead. Contact them by phone, email, or Instagram DM for a smooth reservation.

IKAHO TOY.DOLL & CAR MUSEUM
The museum displays toys and dolls from the early Showa period to the Heisei period, including the "Fukumatsu Ningyo" (vintage Japanese doll), only nine dolls in Japan. In another area of the museum, cars from the Showa period are displayed, making it a museum that people of all ages can enjoy.
This museum lets you enjoy Showa-era retro vibes, teddy bears, nostalgic cars, and even the world of Initial D.
It’s a fun experience that feels a little different from a typical public museum.
Great for a wide range of ages and for anyone, regardless of gender. -

Hotel Takaone
In July of 2021, an inn was opened in front of Keio Takao Line’s Takaosanguchi Station. Not only just staying, but you can also have hands-on experiences at this “activity hotel.”
A reasonably priced place to stay, close to both the station and the highway exit.
The rooms have a simple design, and things like the bonfire give it an outdoorsy vibe. Even though it’s near the city, you can still really feel close to nature. -

Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyu
Mount Takao is a Michelin 3-star destination that sees countless tourists from Japan and across the world. It’s also home to Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyu, a coveted daytrip hot springs spot located conveniently near Takaosan-guchi station so you can easily tack on a dip to your next hiking or sightseeing trip.
Gokurakuyu is directly connected to Takaosanguchi Station, so it’s super easy to get to.
It’s great that you can eat and drink while washing off all the sweat from hiking. I also like that it stays open later than many places nearby. -
