Mount Iwadono, also known as Iwadono-san, is a prominent mountain located near Otsuki Station in Yamanashi Prefecture. Standing at 634 meters, the same height as the Tokyo Skytree, it offers a rewarding hiking experience with historical significance. The mountain was once the site of a mountain castle, and remnants of its past, along with the legend of 'Chigo Otoshi' (Child Dropping), add to its allure. While some trails are currently closed due to landslides, visitors can still enjoy challenging routes with rocky areas and panoramic views, including potential views of Mount Fuji. Be sure to check for updated trail information before your visit.
