21 Peaks

With 21 peaks in the area, avid mountain climbers have the pick of the litter and almost half are on the Yamanashi Top 100 Summits list.　 While there are many well suited to beginners and close to train stations like Mt. Shiroyama (571 m) and Mt. Kukiyama (970 m), the most prominent peak—and a climb meant for experienced hikers—is to Mitsu Pass at 1,785 meters, where you’re treated to a first-class unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji.
