1000 yen

Details:
What to bring:
- Water: enough for yourself (*)
- Your lunch (we will have lunch on the top of the mountain)
- Hat in case of sun
- Rainwear in case of rain
- (Hiking) shoes (please wear shoes whenever you need to!)
- 1000 yen
Optional:
- Towel, wet tissues for your feet
- First aid supplies
- Sunscreen
- Insect spray

After party:
- Bath towel, spare clothes (there is an onsen near Takaosanguchi Station, if you want to relax in onsen after the hike).
(*) It takes 100+ minutes to go up Mt Takao (in shoes), so I suspect at least 2-3 hours for us to hike/walk barefoot. This site says bring 1 liter of water for every 2 hours: https://www.advnture.com/features/water-for-hiking
Insurance:
You can buy insurance from your own provider at your own discretion.
By joining the hike you agree that safety is your own responsibility, not organizers'.
