Day hikes from Tokyo

Hi all,
I am looking for recommendations for day hikes, easily reachable from Tokyo. I am hoping to do a nice hike this Sunday with my girlfriend, who is very much a beginner, although we did recently enjoy walking up Takao-san. So something similar to that would be perfect.
Many thanks, and have a nice Golden Week!
Rich :)

Thanks for the suggestion :) It looks a bit too far away though, with a couple of trains/a bus/a ropeway.
Any other recommendations that are relatively easy/quicker to access?
Thanks again.

Actually, Mount Mitake sounds perfect having done a bit more research, thanks!
Which train station is the best for beginning a hike? I want to avoid taking a bus to the ropeway station as it will no doubt be crowded and I want to hike rather than go for the easy option.
Is it right that Kori Station is a good starting point?
Thanks :)

Mitake-san: If your girlfriend is a beginner, the hike once you get to the top will be tough enough. I suggest simply taking the bus to the ropeway station (the view along the bus is not that spectacular, and the ride is short anyway).
Other suggestion: Or try Hitsujiyama park for pink moss flowers. You take the Seibu line to Chichibu, and it's a leisurely walk from there.

I was a beginner (read: not fit at all) when I did Mitake- Loved it!
Take the bus from the train station for sure- then decide about the cable ride that will take you partially up. I took the cable car and still getting to the top was a good challenge.
I did it as a day trip from Tokyo it was perfect.
Enjoy your Golden Week
