A Peaceful Escape 90 Min from Shinjuku ⛩️ A Mountain Shrine & Mossy Valley｜Mt. Mitake｜JAPAN VLOG

Hi, I'm nagomi 🌸 Welcome to a slow summer day in Mitake — a mountain just 90 minutes from central Tokyo, where a wolf is worshipped as a god, a cable car climbs a 25-degree slope, and a clear river runs through one of the capital's most beautiful gorges. In this video, we ride the "Tokyo Adventure Line," take a steep cable car up to a sacred mountain where people still live at the very summit, visit a shrine guarded by wolves and said to be 2,000 years old, walk a gorge chosen as one of Tokyo's "100 Famous Waters," and end the day with soba and tofu cheesecake at a riverside café run by a 300-year-old sake brewery. It's the quiet, green Tokyo that most travelers walk right past. Come take a slow trip with me. 🍃 ────────────── 🕐 Chapters 0:00 Arriving in Mitake, Tokyo 1:49 The cable car up Mt.
