Mt. Chigootoshi

稚児落し

Ōtsuki-shi, Yamanashi · Elevation 598 m

Chigo-otoshi (598 m) is a cliff-topped rocky peak in Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture, known for its sheer, railing-less precipice. It lies on the hiking route from Mt. Iwadono (634 m, one of the 'Shurei Fugaku Junikei' and Yamanashi 100 Mountains) over Kabuto-iwa to Chigo-otoshi, overlooking the town and surrounding peaks. Its name is said to come from a legend of a child (chigo) thrown from the cliff when a castle fell. It appears in the 350 Mountains around Tokyo and the Kanto Weekend 160 guides.
