Mount Kayagatake via Fukada Park

Trail description

Kayagatake, 1,704 m, is an eroded volcano in Yamanashi between Hokuto and Kai and one of Japan's 200 famous mountains. This route climbs from the Fukada Kinen Park side on the Fukada Park trail to the summit. The writer Kyuya Fukada, author of One Hundred Mountains of Japan, died of a stroke on this mountain in March 1971, and a memorial park at its foot remembers him. The summit looks across to Mount Fuji, the Southern Alps and Yatsugatake.
