Tokyo Transportation Tickets | Keio Line One-Day Ticket + Mt. Takao Cable Car Ticket

Overview

The Keio Line One-Day Ticket + Mt. Takao Cable Car Ticket is a cost-effective package priced at ¥2,250, offering a seamless day trip from Tokyo to Mount Takao, a sacred mountain in Hachioji, just 50 minutes from Shinjuku. Known as the “mountain with the most climbers in the world,” Mt. Takao is part of the Meiji Mori Takao Quasi-National Park, designated in 1976 for its rich biodiversity and spiritual significance since the Edo period.

Disclaimer

Jasumo Tickets offers a facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, helping them access and apply for tickets to various attractions, including the Keio Line One-Day Ticket + Mt. Takao Cable Car Ticket 2025. We are not a reseller of tickets, nor do we sell tickets directly. Our role is to support international customers by guiding them through the official ticket booking process, ensuring they can secure their tickets through recognized platforms and authorized providers.
As a business based in Japan with a bilingual staff and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by non-Japanese visitors, we address common bottlenecks such as:

• Language Barriers: Navigating Japan’s primarily Japanese-language ticketing systems can be challenging for foreign tourists. Jasumo Tickets provides bilingual support to bridge this gap and ensure a smooth booking experience.
• Access to Japanese-Only Platforms: Many attractions in Japan require local knowledge to navigate and access, and often these platforms do not offer international payment options or are difficult to use for non-Japanese speakers. We facilitate the booking process by providing guidance and helping with international payment methods where applicable.
• Limited Availability & Complex Registration: Attractions in Japan often have limited capacity, and understanding the timing and process for securing tickets can be confusing for international visitors. Jasumo Tickets helps you manage deadlines and requirements, giving you the best chance of securing your entry.
• Due to high demand for Mt. Takao during peak seasons (e.g., April, November), availability is not guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels or in case of cancellation. We strongly recommend booking early via https://jasumotickets.com/ to secure your pass at the official price (¥2,250–¥2,450 with fee).
