Mai took us to the Takao area to see some beautiful shrines. The area was in the mountains and was very peaceful. We also enjoyed lunch at a riverside café that was lovely. It was a wonderful escape from the city. Highly recommend the area. There were a lot of steps so that is something to keep in mind.
