Mount Maruyama
丸山
Yokoze, Saitama · Elevation 960 m
A 960.4 m peak on the main Oku-Musashi ridge in Yokoze Town, Chichibu District, Saitama Prefecture. The Saitama Prefectural Forest (Kenmin no Mori) spreads across the northern slopes, and the concrete observation deck at the summit takes in a wide panorama from Mount Bukō and Mount Ryōkami to the Okutama and Oku-Musashi ranges and the Kantō Plain — a view designated by Saitama Prefecture as a Place of Scenic Beauty in 2015. The standard ascent is the station-to-station hike from Ashigakubo Station via Akaya-zawa or Ōno Pass, and the mountain features in many of the Kantō low-mountain guidebooks.
