(Redirected from Mt. Takao)

'Mount Takao' (高尾山 ''takaosan'') is a mountain in the city of Hachiōji, Tokyo, Japan. Standing 599 m tall, it is a popular hiking spot. A Buddhist temple, Takaosan Yakuōin Yūkiji, is located on the mountain. Mount Takao is closely associated with ''tengu'', minor kami from Japanese folklore.
There is a local superstition, especially amongst young adults, where couples who climb Mount Takao will separate shortly thereafter.
