Mt. Shiroyama is around 45 mins on foot from Mt. Takao and is my preferred destination when the latter is too crowded. Shiroyama chaya 城山茶屋 serves awesome oden おでん all year round and their namekojiru なめこ汁 is great too. On a clear day the view of the valley (and Mt. Fuji) is amazing. For a longer hike you can walk down to Lake Sagamiko from here (around 60 mins). Strongly recommended 👍🏼

Nameko soup(Nameko-jiru) is tasty slimy. The flavor of the dashi stock is not based on miso. The amount of mushrooms and tofu is small, but the soup is slimy,so you'll feel satisfied after drinking it. Prices are reasonable. Sprinkle shichimi (Japanese pepper) as you like and eat.

Enjoying a big shaved ice and maneko mushroom soup at the Shiroyama chaya in the Oku Takao Nature Park!
