Mount Kumotori is a 2,017 m peak at the meeting point of Tokyo, Saitama, and Yamanashi, the highest summit in Tokyo Metropolis. Within Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, its north face preserves a subalpine old-growth forest of Hondo spruce and Veitch's silver fir. Listed in the Hyakumeizan, the 100 Mountains of Flowers, the 100 First-Class Triangulation Mountains, and as Tokyo's highest peak, it offers seasonal interest from spring rhododendrons to summer alpine flowers and winter rime ice. The standard climb is the Kamozawa route via the Kumotori-sansō hut, while longer options follow the Ishi-One ridge from Okutama Station or descend from the Mitsumine Shrine on the Saitama side.
