Anime location
Mount Tenran
197 metres, about 20 minutes up, and the mountain the series starts on. Climbable in ordinary shoes.
A small hill above Hanno with a paved and stepped path to a viewpoint over the town and the Kanto plain. It is where the series begins, and it is deliberately the smallest possible real mountain — about 20 minutes from the trailhead. There are benches and a shelter partway up, and a public toilet with a series poster on the wall.
Why it is worth it
A lot of people say this series is why they started hiking. This is the hill it happened on, and it costs nothing but a train ticket.
When to go
Busy at weekends.
Good to know
The ridge continues to Mount Tono and into the Hanno Alps if you want a real half-day walk. Hanno city publishes a location map. Direct trains from Ikebukuro take 50 minutes.
Encouragement of Climb
