Mt. Tanzawa

Mt. Tanzawa (丹沢山) is a 1,567m peak on the Tanzawa main ridge in the Tanzawa Mountains, and one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains.
Located in the center of Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park, it is popular as a base for traverses to Mt. To-no-dake and Mt. Hiru-ga-take. Many hikers also stay at the “Miyama Sanso” hut at the summit. It is a nature-rich mountain with primeval beech forests still remaining.
Accessible by Yabitsu-toge-bound bus from Hadano Station or by Okura-bound bus from Shibusawa Station.

Fukada Kyuya, author of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains, counted the entire surrounding mountain range, including Mt. To-no-dake and Mt. Hiru-ga-take, as one of the 100 Famous Mountains.

As it is located in the center of the Tanzawa Range, the approach distance is long, and a 1-night/2-day trip using a mountain hut is the basic plan.

Access to Mt. Tanzawa is typically via Mt. To-no-dake from the Yabitsu-toge or Okura bus stops.
Another route walks the public road from the Sansaro bus stop at Lake Miyagase to Shiomizu-bashi.
