Facts and practical information
Benno-Oriyama is a 969-meter-high mountain located on the border between Okutama-cho, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo and Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture. It is on the border of the Okutama and Okumusashi mountain ranges.
Also called Bo-no-Ori-mine, Bo-no-Mine, and Bo-no-Ridge. Also called Bo-no-Ridge, Bo-no-Mine, and Bo-no-Ridge.
One of the origins of Bo-no-Ori is said to be that Hatakeyama Shigetada, a Chichibu warlord of the Kamakura period, broke a stone stick he was carrying as a walking stick when crossing this mountain, thus giving it its name. A stone pillar about one foot long is enshrined at a shrine along the trail leading up from Hyakkenchaya on the Okutama side of the mountain, said to be a broken piece of the broken stone stick.
The summit is very wide, with an open space that looks like a park or a small field. It used to be a field of thatch.
