Mt. To-no-dake (塔ノ岳)

Mt. To-no-dake (塔ノ岳) is a 1,491m peak located in the southern Tanzawa Mountains of Kanagawa Prefecture. From the Sonbutsu Sanso hut at the summit, you can see Mt. Fuji and Sagami Bay at a glance, making it one of the most popular peaks in the Tanzawa area. Multiple routes can be enjoyed, such as the direct ascent of the Okura Ridge (popularly called “Baka Ridge”) and the traverse of the Omote-One ridge from Yabitsu-toge.
From Shibusawa Station on the Odakyu Line, access Okura by bus, or from Hadano Station access Yabitsu-toge by bus.

The main trailheads to the summit are two: Yabitsu-toge and Okura.
From Yabitsu-toge to the summit is about 4 hours; from Okura to the summit is about 3 hours 30 minutes.

The recommended route enters from Yabitsu-toge and descends to Okura.
You can easily enjoy ridge walking on a day trip, and chain sections etc. are present along the way, so it is also called a gateway before the Northern Alps.

The Okura ridge is popularly called “Baka Ridge”; since plain uphill continues relentlessly, we don’t recommend climbing from this side.
Although within day-trip range, you can also stay at Sonbutsu Sanso at the summit, and since the night view of Kanto from here is splendid, a 1-night/2-day climb is also recommended.
