Mount Amari

Japanese: 甘利山 - あまりやま
Mount Amari

A mountain in Nirasaki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. It is 1,731 meters above sea level. It is one of the vanguard mountains of the Akaishi Mountains (Southern Alps) and is located in the northern part of the Koma Mountains. Sawaraike Pond on the mountainside was known as a unique high-altitude marsh, but is now used as a campsite and skating rink. The mountain is famous for its colonies of rhododendrons and lilies of the valley. There are also many wildflowers near the summit. It also serves as an excellent observation deck for the Kofu Basin. There is a municipal lodge and a forest road, so it is popular with hikers. There is a bus service from JR Nirasaki Station to the entrance to Mt. Amari.
