Mount Kumotori from Mitsumine Shrine

Trail description

Mount Kumotori, 2,017 m, is the highest point of Tokyo and one of the 100 famous mountains of Japan. This route starts at Mitsumine Shrine in Chichibu and follows the long ridge over Kirimogamine and Mount Shiraiwa to the summit, about five and a half hours up. Most hikers take two days, and winter brings ice and slips on this ridge. Asian black bears live in these mountains, so carry a bear bell.
