Advisable to climb Mt Takao during winter?

I'm planning for a day trip to Mt Takao from tokyo during winter around the period of 20-28 January 2013. Just wondering if it is advisable to climb Mt Takao during this period? what will the place be like?

Thanks much!

You can go there around the year. It does not usually receive a lot of snow, and often it can be free of snow. Aside from the evergreens, vegetation will be barren. Crowds will be smaller. I think it can be a very nice walk and temple visit.

I also understand that it is possible to do mountain worship practice there, such as sitting under a cold waterfall in a thin, white yukata:

Mt Takao is very low and you can take the cablecar so it's really no problem. Just make sure that you dress warm and you have appropriate shoes. The view will actually be better in the winter time as the air is dry and clearer and most winter days in the region is sunny.
