Mount Mizugaki is a 2,230 m granite massif in Hokuto, Yamanashi, marking the western edge of the Oku-Chichibu range. Its name comes from mizugaki, the wooden fence around a Shintō shrine, and the peak has long been venerated together with neighboring Mount Kinpu. Within Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, it is famous for its forest of black-mica granite spires, including Kōbō-iwa and Ōyasuri-iwa.
