Mount Gozen, Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park
Facts and practical information
Gozenzan is a 1405-meter-high mountain located in the Okutama mountain range, on the boundary of Okutama Town and Hinohara Village, Nishitama County, Tokyo.
Mt. Otake, Mt. Gozen, and Mt. Mitou on the south bank of the Tama River are called Okutama Sanzan.
The mountain rises in the center of the main vein of Okutama on the southern shore of Okutama Lake. The shape and appearance of the mountain seen from afar is beautiful. The mountain is a place where katakuris grow wild. In autumn, when the larch leaves turn yellow, the summit area turns golden. The Hinohara Village side to the south is particularly heavily planted with trees. The summit is wide, but there is not much of a view. Ishi Ridge is located on the opposite side of the mountain. At the weir of the Ogouchi Dam, there is the entrance to the Oobuna Ridge, one of the trails. On the way, you can look down on Lake Okutama from the southeast. The Okutama Citizens' Forest is also located on the northern slope.
