Overview of the mountain

Mt.Daibosatsu-rei is one of the most popular mountains around Tokyo because we can enjoy the stunning views from the trail course and get the peak relatively easily.
You can see all-direction views along the ridgeline between "Kaminari-iwa" and "Daibosatsu-touge", and even enjoy uncurtained figure of Mt.Fuji.

My visiting report: 30-Apr-2016, fair

At 9:00AM, arriving at Kamihikawa-touge temporary parking. The trailhead is 10 minutes walk from there.
At 9:15AM, we arrived at Kamihikawa-touge trailhead. Because of fine weather, the platz is full of hikers.
At 9:40AM, we got to Fukuchan-so cottage which had a stand and a restaurant inside. The trailcourse split into two ways here. And then we took "Karamatsu-one" course.
At 10:45AM, having reached to the stunning viewpoint "Kaminari-iwa", we enjoyed the awesome view of Mt.Fuji and Southern Alps for a while.
At 11:05AM, we got the peak of Mt.Daibosatsu-rei. But this space is surrounded by woods, we couldn't see any scenery here.
At 11:15AM, lunchtime at Kaminari-iwa with stunning Mt.Fuji and having traversed on the lidgeline to "Daibosatsu-touge".
At 12:20PM, we reached to Daibosatsu-touge (the most famous place in this trailcourse) and took some pictures. Kaizan-so cottage on Daibosatsu-touge sold some mountain-related goods.
