Hey, does anyone have the inside track on a hiking or mountain climbing group in the region? I’m based near Tokyo, but can’t climb Mt. Takao every weekend so fine with reasonable levels of travel!
I’ve checked Meetup up and down, but everything is either booked full, or is clearly a commercial outfit masquerading as a “meetup”.
Would love to find some people to hike with; solo is always fun but it gets routine after a bit. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried the Facebook group “Hiking, Climbing and Camping in Japan”? Very active
Mt. Tsukuba is a nice short hike in Ibaraki. https://www.mt-tsukuba.com/global/en/
Oyama out in Isehara on the Odakyu line is very doable by bus and train.
You might be able to make your own group posting on the Tokyo or Tokyoirl subs.

Hey there! Have you tried looking on Facebook groups for hiking or mountain climbing in the region? That might be a good place to start. Also, have you considered reaching out to any local outdoor stores or gear shops to see if they know of any groups? I’ve found that they usually have some inside knowledge on local outdoor activities. Best of luck finding a group!
Jalan jalan on Meetup is wonderful
If you can speak Japanese, [スポーツやろうよ](https://www.net-menber.com/) is a great resource for finding any sport related circle
– the odakyu line hiking meetup is good!!
– the facebook group as mentioned
