Mount Mitake (Tokyo)

Mount Mitake (御岳山, Mitake-san) is a mountain in the Chichibu Tama Kai National Park near Tokyo, Japan.

On the mountain is a Shinto shrine where practices such as Futomani divination take place.

[1][2] It is one of the many highlights of the Chichibu Tama Kai National Park, which covers more than 1,250 km2 (483 sq mi) of forested mountains, hills, gorges and some rural towns in the prefectures of Yamanashi, Saitama, Nagano and Tokyo.

A shuttle bus, located 50 meters to the left of Mitake Station, travels to Takimoto village every half-hour between 07:30 to 18:00.

There is a hiking trail that takes approximately two and half hours to reach the summit, which passes Otsukayama (920 metres).
