Mount Ōmuro

Mount Omuro rises 580 meters above sea level with a circular crater measuring 300 meters in diameter and 70 meters in depth.

The extinct volcano within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park formed through multiple eruptions that deposited layers of volcanic fragments, creating its symmetrical shape.

The Sengen Shrine at Mount Omuro remains a religious site where people seek blessings for childbirth and marriage through traditional ceremonies.

Visitors reach the summit via a chairlift operating from 9:00 AM to 5:15 PM, with adjusted hours between October and March closing at 4:15 PM.

During the annual Yamayaki festival each February, controlled fires spread across the mountain slopes as part of a traditional field-burning ceremony.
