Mount Mito (West Peak)
三頭山 西峰
Okutama, Tokyo / Uenohara, Yamanashi / Kosuge, Yamanashi · Elevation 1,525 m
Mount Mito, at 1,531 m, straddles Hinohara and Okutama in Tokyo and Uenohara and Kosuge in Yamanashi, and is the highest of the three Okutama peaks alongside Gozenyama and Odakeyama. Within Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, it is known for its primeval beech forest. Of the three summits that give the mountain its name, the West Peak is celebrated for its view of Mount Fuji, which Tokyo's official tourism site calls beautiful enough to make the climb worthwhile. From the main trailhead at the Tokyo Metropolitan Hinohara Citizens' Forest, a loop of about 5.4 km and 3 hours 30 minutes runs past Mito Great Falls and the Beech Path.
