Starting station of the Mount Takao cable car, located at the base of the mountain near the visitor center. The cable car connects Kiyotaki Station to Takaosan Station, situated halfway up the mountain near the Monkey Park and Yakuōin Temple. This short but steep ride—one of the steepest in Japan—saves time and avoids the initial uphill climb. It's a popular option for families and those wanting to enjoy the views without too much walking.
