Mt. Gozen
御前山
Okutama, Tokyo · Elevation 1,405 m
Mt. Gozen (1,405 m) rises in Okutama Town in western Tokyo as one of the Okutama Three Mountains, within Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park. Standing alongside Mt. Mitō and Mt. Ōdake, it is famed for sweeping ridge views over Lake Okutama and especially for the masses of katakuri (dogtooth violet) that carpet the slopes just below the summit in spring—earning it a place on Sumie Tanaka's "100 Flower Mountains." Routes climb from Sakaibashi and Okōchi Pass on the lakeshore or traverse the ridge from Mt. Ōdake, typically passing the Gozenyama emergency hut. It is counted among the 100 Famous Mountains of Kantō and Japan's 100 Low Mountains.
