Mount Mishotai, one of Japan's 200 Famous Mountains, stands at 1681.6 meters on the border of Tsuru City and Doshi Village in Yamanashi Prefecture. Several trails lead to the summit, including routes from the Mishotai bus stop near Miwa Shrine, Dosaka Pass via the Dosaka Tunnel, Shirai-daira course from Mishotai Bridge in Doshi Village, and a path from Mt. Yamabushi Pass. The Shirai-daira course, recently maintained by Doshi Village officials, is a popular choice. The summit area features a well-preserved mixed forest of coniferous and broad-leaved trees, designated as a nature protection area. Allow approximately 3 hours to reach the peak and enjoy the lush greenery.
