Mount Kinpu

金峰山

Kofu, Yamanashi · Elevation 2,599 m

Mount Kinpu is a 2,599 m peak with its summit in Kōfu, Yamanashi, and slopes extending into Hokuto and Kawakami in Nagano, one of the principal summits of the Oku-Chichibu range. Its summit is crowned by the 15 m granite pillar of Gojō-iwa, long revered as a Shugendō sacred site dedicated to Zaō Gongen. It lies within Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park. The popular route from Ōdarumi Pass — Japan's highest road pass for vehicles — reaches the summit in about two and a half hours, while the longer route from Mizugaki-sansō to the west via Fujimidaira and Dainichi Rock is also common. The Kinpu-goya hut on the northern side has limited winter opening days, but the Kawakami-Makioka forest road closes Ōdarumi Pass in winter.
