Mount Kasatori

Mount Kasatori rises to 1,953 meters, featuring multiple hiking trails through dense forests, rocky outcrops, and seasonal changes in vegetation throughout the year.

The mountain emerged as a significant landmark for local communities, with its name deriving from the Japanese word for hat due to its shape.

The mountain paths contain numerous small shrines where hikers pause for meditation and reflection during their journey through the wilderness.

The hiking trail begins at Shinchidaira Bus Stop, with regular transport services from Enzan Station and Yamanashishi Station during weekends from April to September.

The summit marks the source of the Tama River at Mizukan, offering views of the Southern Alps, Mount Fuji, and the Okuchichibu Mountains.
