Mount Usu

臼ヶ岳

Yamakita, Kanagawa / Sagamihara, Kanagawa · Elevation 1,460 m

Mount Usu (Usugatake, 1,460 m) stands on the main ridge of the Tanzawa Mountains in western Kanagawa Prefecture, midway between Mount Hirugatake—Kanagawa's highest peak—and Mount Hinokiboramaru. Forming part of Tanzawa-Ōyama Quasi-National Park, its summit is cloaked in ancient beech trees, earning the nickname 'Buna-yama' (Beech Mountain). It is a key waypoint on the long ridge traverse from the Nishi-Tanzawa Visitor Center over Hinokiboramaru to Hirugatake.
