- ⛰️Mt Mitake Hike with Autumn Foliage at Mitake Gorge & Rock Garden 🏕️🌲キャンセル済み
Hello Hikers! This is Travel and Explore JP. Mt. Mitake (Mitake-san) is in the Okutama area west of Tokyo. Its peak is 929 meters above sea level. A cable car makes scaling it a breeze so there are often many hikers. The mountain has a rich natural environment and is even home to giant flying squirrels. Musashimitake-jinja Shrine is on Mt. Mitake's summit and has been worshiped as a sacred mountain since ancient times. These days it's also a popular place thought to have spiritual or healing energy, often called “Power Spot.” There are 24 Shukubo temple lodges, in the vicinity of the shrine, and the tea shops along the shopping street heading there provide meals and a place to rest. Mt. Mitake has beginner trails that run through the moss-covered rocky area along a stream. Especially in the fresh green of spring, the natural splendor of the woodland hues and mossy boulders is wonderful. The colored foliage of autumn also creates some amazing scenery. As soon as you pass Ayahiro Falls, you'll merge with the trail to Mt. Odake.
