Mt. Momokura (Momokura-yama, 1,003m) is located in Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Counted as one of Otsuki City’s symbolic “Twelve Views of Mt. Fuji”, the view of Mt. Fuji from the summit is breathtaking. Additionally, at the foot of the mountain is Saruhashi Bridge, one of Japan’s three most unusual bridges, making it a great point to enjoy both hiking and sightseeing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re wondering about the best way to get to Mt.Momokura, keep in mind that the distance to the trailhead varies greatly depending on whether you take the train or the highway bus.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
