天上山
Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi · Elevation 1,140 m
Mount Tenjō (formally Usobukiyama, 1,140 m) rises above the southeastern shore of Lake Kawaguchi in Fujikawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture. Better known by its popular name, the peak is the legendary setting of the 'Kachi-kachi Yama' folktale immortalized in Dazai Osamu's 'Otogi-zōshi' and is served by the Mount Fuji Panorama Ropeway, which lifts visitors to an observation deck at about 1,075 m with sweeping views of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. The slopes are planted with roughly 100,000 hydrangeas that bloom in mid-summer, and the mountain lies within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
