Mount Kagenobu (景信山) is a 727m mountain on the border of Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture. Located along the popular Takao-Jinba ridge trail, the mountaintop rest houses offer panoramic views of Lake Sagami and Mt. Fuji. The famous nameko mushroom soup and tempura are popular with hikers.
From JR or Keio Takao Station, take the bus to Kobotoke bus stop. The hike from the bus stop to the summit takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes via Kobotoke Pass.
The bypass trail from Kobotoke Pass to Kobotoke-Shiroyama mid-slope connecting to Hikage Forest Road is closed. Multiple collapses on the route from Mt. Kagenobu toward Koshimozawa Forest Road require caution.
You can combine Mt. Kagenobu with Mt. Takao and Mt. Jinba for various route options.
Here we introduce access to the Kobotoke bus stop, the nearest stop to Mt. Kagenobu.
