Hiking Mount Daibosatsu

Mount Daibosatsu (Mountain Great Bodhisattva) is located in the Enza district in the city of Koshu, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. It is a mountain with an altitude of 2,057 meters (6,749 feet) and is one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. On a sunny day, you will be able to see Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps from the summit; however, it was very cloudy and the visibility was poor on the day. There are two major trails, the Kamihikawa Pass trail and the Daibosatsu Pass trail. We took the Kamihikawa Pass trail and it took about 1 hour and 10 minutes including short rests from the parking lot to the summit.
