Nishikatsura, Yamanashi / Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi · Elevation 1,785 m
Mount Mitsutōge is a ridge of three summits — Kaiun-zan (1,785 m, the highest), Osutaka-yama, and Kinashi-yama — in the Misaka Mountains of central Yamanashi Prefecture, straddling Nishikatsura, Tsuru, and Fujikawaguchiko. Listed among Japan's 200 Famous Mountains and the Yamanashi 100, it is famous for the Byōbu-iwa cliffs (a major rock-climbing area) and for offering one of the finest panoramic views of Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps. Tradition holds that the mountain was opened by En no Gyōja in the Nara period.
