笹子雁ヶ腹摺山

Mount Sasagogangaharasuriyama reaches an elevation of 1,357.7 meters and features steep slopes connecting the Daibosatsu Ridge to the Misaka mountain range.

The mountain path follows sections of the ancient Koshu Kaido trade route, which connected Edo, now Tokyo, with the former Kai Province through multiple tunnels.

The mountain's name derives from the pattern of wild geese that traditionally flew over its ridgeline, reflecting Japanese practices of naming natural features after animal behaviors.

Hikers can start their journey at Sasago Station, following a 13.5-kilometer trail that requires approximately seven hours to complete and ends at Kai-Yamato Station.

Three large radio signal repeaters installed on the mountain serve as navigation landmarks while providing essential communication infrastructure for the region.
