Trekking in Tokyo, 1363.2m Mt. Kawakoriyama, 40m waterfall and Mt.Fuji!

Trekking in Tokyo, 1363.2m Mt. Kawakoriyama, 40m waterfall and Mt.Fuji!

Mt.Kawanoriyama in Okutama Tokyo

I climbed Mt. Kawakoriyama in the town of Okutama, on the western edge of Tokyo.

The entire town of Okutama belongs to the Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park.

Okutama town is covered with deep forest, and it is hard to believe that it is in Tokyo.

The summit of the mountain is not so high at 1363.2m, if the weather is good, we can see Mt.Fuji.

You can also enjoy a 360-degree view of the mountains of Okutama Town.

I took a bus from Okutama Station on the JR to Kawanoribashi bridge, takes 15 minutes.

I started trekking from Kawanoribashi Bridge.

From here, I walked along the forest road along the valley.

I could see Mt.Fuji clearly and the 360-degree view of the mountains around Okutama was also very beautiful!


After that, I went down the mountain 2 hours to arrive at the next station, Hatonosu Station of JR.
