Mount Ryōkami

Mount Ryōkami rises to an elevation of 1,723 meters, featuring steep trails with safety chains and multiple hiking routes through forested mountain slopes.

The mountain became part of the prestigious 100 Famous Japanese Mountains list, establishing its position among the most significant peaks in Japanese mountaineering history.

Local inhabitants consider Mount Ryōkami a spiritual place where Shinto deities reside, marking it as a destination for religious practices and mountain worship.

Hikers can access the mountain via the Hinata-oya route, starting from Seibu-Chichibu station with a bus connection to the trailhead at Nakatsugawa.
