Mt. Hodosan

宝登山

Nagatoro, Saitama · Elevation 497 m

Mt. Hodosan (497 m) rises in Nagatoro Town, Chichibu, Saitama, at the southern end of the Chichibu Range, with the inner shrine of Hodosan-jinja just below the summit—the mountain has long been revered as a sacred site. A 5-minute ropeway connects the lower and summit stations, and the gardens at the top draw visitors year-round: rōbai (wintersweet) from late December to late February, plum blossoms from early February to late March, and cherries in April. From the summit hikers look across to Mt. Bukō, Mt. Ryōkami, and the Chichibu basin, and the peak is also walked as part of the Nagatoro Alps ridge route. It is counted among the 100 Hikes of Kantō and the 100 Famous Mountains of Kantō (2019).
