Mt. Amagi (天城山) is the collective name for the range running east–west through the center of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture. Its highest peak is Manzaburodake at 1,406m. Beech and Hime-shara virgin forests, Amagi rhododendron in spring, ashibi in early summer, and autumn foliage give it a rich seasonal palette, while its many gentle paths make it ideal for beginner-to-intermediate ridge traverses. The signature route is the loop from the Amagi Traverse Trailhead over Manjirodake and Manzaburodake, and public-transport access is excellent.
Seasonal Information (as of May 2026)
- Winter shortened service: Each January through mid-March, snow and ice typically force the Ito Station ⇔ Harvest Amagi route to run as a turnaround service that does not reach the Amagi Traverse Trailhead. Check the latest operating status on the Tokai Bus official site.
- Rhododendron and azalea peak: Mid-May to early June is the rhododendron peak, visible along the Manjirodake–Manzaburodake traverse trail.
- Note: Sediment buildup between Namesawa Pass and Tsuge Pass, with faded trail tape — following pink tape is recommended. The Manzaburodake summit can drop below 5°C even in May.
It is counted among the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains, the 100 Flowering Mountains, and the 100 Mountains with First-Order Triangulation Points.
