Mount Hiru Summit

Every citizen of the Kanagawa Prefecture talks about climbing up to the highest peak in the prefecture at least once. Between Inugoetouge and Hinokiboramaru the rhododendron wadanum flowers (azaleas) are the first to bloom, followed by the rhododendron quinquefolium (also a type of azalea) in the beginning of May. In autumn the Japanese larch show off their golden leaves. Mount Hiru allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and feel the mountain in your soul. In summer majestic constellations visible from the summit appear so close that they could almost be reached. In winter you can feel on top of the world as you enjoy the fresh mountain air and a 360 degree night panorama.
