    Kanagawa prefecture Isehara-shi, Atsugi-shi, Hadano-shi
    This mountain with an elevation of 1,252 meters is one of Japan's Top 300 Mountains, and being it sits on the borders of Isehara, Hadano, and Atsugi cities, it has also selected as one of the Kanto Region Top 100 Mountains. This spot, with a panoramic view of Mt. Fuiji, Eno Island, and the sky rise buildings in downtown Tokyo, is also enjoyed by visitors for its beautiful autumn foliage and nightscapes. Many visitors take the Oyama cable car to midway point and then enjoy hiking the rest of the way.

    Yamanashi Pref. Minamitsurugundoushimura
    This mountain was designated as a national Natural Monument in 2010 by the central government for being a classic example of a monogenetic volcano. The dormant volcano, which features a 300 meter-wide mortar-shaped crater at its 580 meter-tall peak, is completely covered in thatch. One of the Eight Sights of Ito, the mountain is famous for the cherry blossom grove at its foot and for the yamayaki (mountain burning) ritual held on the second Sunday of February each year.

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
