Speaking of the Keio Line, I think that many people use it as a convenient route to access Mt. Takaosan, which is familiar to climbers.
The Keio Liner introduced in the article, but in fact, in addition to those connecting Shinjuku with Keio Hachioji and Hashimoto Station, there is also a train operated as `` Mt. TAKAO '' between Shinjuku Station ← → Mt. Takaosan Exit Station Do you know that?
The "Mt. TAKAO" is a train with a reserved seat like other Keio Liners, and is guaranteed to be seated. It is a train with a seat like an express train.
The fare is 410 yen in addition to the ticket, but the Keio Line costs 800 yen even if used from Shinjuku Station to Mt. Takaosanguchi Station. By the way, the distance between Shinjuku Station and Takao Station on the JR Chuo Line is 570 yen on a regular commuter train. It is attractive to be able to sit and move with a loose seat at 230 yen due to the difference. Getting on a different type of train from Shinjuku Station and going up for mountain climbing will make you feel more excited.
The only thing that needs attention is that the "Mt. TAKAO" is a special train operated at a specific time. Unfortunately, it is not always available. As a regular train that I can ride at any time, I want to expect that the train departing from Shinjuku Station early morning will be operated. (PORTALFIELD Takahashi)
