Light hiking with views overlooking the Kofu Basin from a mountain behind the Yumura hot spring district
About this spot
A small mountain that rises immediately behind the Yumura hot spring district with a well-maintained walking path to the summit. From the observation deck, you can overlook the Kofu Basin and the mountain range beyond it, offering a light hiking experience. Also known as a cherry blossom viewing spot, it feels wonderful to walk through the lush trees. The distance is just right for a leisurely stroll before the festival.
