Mount Kanmuri ( Japanese: 冠ヶ岳 = Kanmuri-ga-Take, meaning the "mountain with a Kanmuri hat") is one of the peaks of Mount Hakone, in Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan, with an elevation of 1,409m meters. [1] When the phreatic eruptions occurred on the northwestern slope of Mount Kami about 2,900 years ago, the underground magma created a lava dome, which is the current Mount Kanmuri. These eruptions caused the damming of the Haya River, creating the Sengokuhara and Lake Ashi.
This mountain looks like the " Kanmuri" headwear, which used to be worn by the noble men in ancient Japan.
Climbing Mount Kanmuri
Climbing mountains is a popular sport in the Mount Hakone area. To the top of Mount Kanmuri, there are three trails: from Mount Koma Summit Station of the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway, from Sōunzan Station of Hakone Tozan Cable Car, and from Ōwakudani Station of the Hakone Ropeway. [2] The trail from Ōwakudani gets closed when too much volcanic vapor is evident. .
