Mount Kayagatake

Japanese: 茅ヶ岳 - かやがたけ
Mount Kayagatake

A mountain in northwest Yamanashi Prefecture. It is on the border between Kai City and Hokuto City. It is 1,704 meters above sea level. To the southwest, there is a vast gentle slope made of volcanic debris, which is increasingly being used for farming and golf courses. It is known for the wonderful view of the Yatsugatake Mountains, the Northern Alps, and the Southern Alps from the summit. It is also the final resting place of Fukada Kyuya, author of "Japan's 100 Famous Mountains" (he died while climbing). The most common route to the mountain is by bus from Nirasaki Station on the JR Chuo Main Line, passing through Fukada Memorial Park. You can also climb from the Kai City area via Kannon Pass.
