When the excitement of Tokyo has got to be too much, head to the mountains to recharge in nature. My favourite mountain is Mt. Mitake, close enough to be accessed during a day trip from Tokyo yet still feeling worlds away.
Mt. Mitake is a perfect mountain getaway from Tokyo. For the ultimate stay, look no further than Higashibaba, a historic shokubo from 1866.
