陣馬山

Mt. Jinba (陣馬山) is an 854.8m peak on the border of Hachioji, Tokyo and Sagamihara, Kanagawa. Its summit is marked by an iconic white horse statue, and the 360-degree observation deck offers panoramic views of Mt. Fuji, the Tanzawa Mountains, and the Southern Alps.

The mountain is accessible by bus from Takao Station (approx. 37 min) or Fujino Station (approx. 14 min), and is popular as the starting point for ridge hikes to Mt. Kagenobuyama and Mt. Takao.

Several teahouses operate at the summit, serving light meals including the famous wild vegetable soba. Restrooms are available near the teahouses, though hours vary by season. The trails are well-maintained, and the hike from the Jimba Kogen-shita bus stop to the summit takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
