Mt. Daibosatsu (大菩薩嶺)

Mount Daibosatsu (大菩薩嶺 Daibosatsu-rei) is a 2,057m peak in Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and one of Japan’s 100 Famous Mountains.
The ridge trail from Daibosatsu Pass to the summit offers spectacular panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps. As one of the most accessible 100 Famous Mountains from the Tokyo area for a day trip, it is extremely popular with hikers. The fresh green season and autumn foliage are especially recommended.

From Kaminikkawa-toge to the summit: 1 hour 15 minutes.
