Mount Mitake, Sacred mountain in Ome, Japan.

Mitake is a peak in Ome, Japan, rising 929 meters above sea level within Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park. Dense woods cover its slopes, while stone paths wind through the greenery toward the top.

Mount Mitake has long been an object of mountain worship, and the Musashi-Mitake Shrine stands on its summit. The shrine's oshi priests once ran lodging houses in the torii-front settlement along the trail from Mitake-san cable car station. The mountain lies in former Musashi Province, hence the name Musashi-Mitake. A festival is held on the mountain every year on May 8.

Musashi-Mitake Shrine honours Ōkuninushi and is known for the oinu-sama, a wolf deity whose statues and amulets protect dogs; visitors bring their pets on the cable car. Futomani divination is still practised on the mountain. A festival is held every 8 May, and in August some 50,000 plants of the flower Kirengeshoma palmata bloom on the slopes.

From Mitake Station on the Ōme Line, a shuttle bus leaves from 50 metres to the left of the station for Takimoto village, where the cable car climbs to Mitake village; the shrine is about 25 minutes on foot from the top station. The road beyond Takimoto is closed to cars without permission. Hikers can also walk up from Takimoto in about an hour.

The Rock Garden trail follows a narrow valley lined with moss-covered boulders and leads to Ayahiro Falls. From there, hikers can continue to neighboring Otake, linking two summits in one day.
