Mount Tenran, Summit and mountain complex in Hanno, Japan
Mount Tenran rises 197 meters above Hanno, with several trails running through forests that lead to an observation deck. From there you can see the surrounding mountain ranges spread out below.
The mountain got its name after the Meiji Emperor visited in 1883 to watch military training exercises from its high point. This visit made it an important place in local history.
Stone statues of rakan saints line the pathway, donated during the Edo period by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's mother in gratitude for his recovery from illness. These figures show the personal prayers and religious practices that visitors can observe walking through the grounds today.
You can reach the mountain on foot from Hanno Station in about 20 minutes, and clear signs mark the way. The paths are easy to walk and lead clearly to different starting points.
On clear days you can see the Chichibu Mountains, Okutama Mountains, and Mount Fuji from the top. This view changes with each season and offers different perspectives throughout the year.
