Mount Odake (大岳山, Oodakesan) 1,266 m (4,154 ft)) is a mountain located within the Nishi-Okutama District, in the village of Hinohara and the town of Okutama, Tokyo, in western Tokyo, Japan, and located within Chichibu Tama Kai National Park.
Because of its relatively convenient access from central Tokyo, this trail can be crowded, especially on weekends or holidays.
[5] The trail winds through Mitakesan village towards Mount Mitake (Tokyo) (929 m (3,048 ft)) and Musashi-Mitake Shrine.
It is also possible to hike the entire route from JR Mitake station, adding an approximate 90 minutes of time, crossing the Tama River on a footbridge.
[6][7] Many climbers hike the trail in reverse, starting at Oku-Tama Station, and this has greater elevation gains.
