Mt. Momokura (百蔵山) is a 1,003m peak in Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. One of the Twelve Famous Views of Mt. Fuji established by Otsuki City, the Mt. Fuji view from the summit at close range is splendid. Also selected as one of the 100 Famous Mountains of Yamanashi. The traverse course to the neighboring Mt. Ogi is popular, allowing you to enjoy mountain hiking visiting the Twelve Famous Views of Mt. Fuji. Spring cherry blossoms are also beautiful on this mountain.
From Saruhashi Station on the JR Chuo Main Line, access via bus to Fukusenji-mae, or by walking to the trailhead.
⚠ Climbing notice after January 2026 Mt. Ogi forest fire (when traversing Mt. Momokura ~ Mt. Ogi)
A large-scale forest fire occurred at neighboring Mt. Ogi on January 8, 2026 (burnt area approx. 396 ha). Entry restrictions were lifted on February 13, 2026, but on the traverse ridge around Mt. Ogi ~ Okubo-no-Kobu, fallen trees, scorched trees, and ground surface roughness remain. There is no major impact on solo Mt. Momokura climbing, but please be careful when planning a traverse with Mt. Ogi. For the latest information, please check the Otsuki City Tourism Association.
The two starting points for climbing Mt. Momokura are the Fukusenji-mae bus stop and Mt. Momokura Trailhead.
For those with physical strength, a course starting from Mt. Ogi, one of the Twelve Famous Views of Mt. Fuji, traversing in combination with Mt. Momokura, and descending to Saruhashi Station is also recommended.
