Mt. Kintoki Hiking Course (Ashigara (Gotemba), 1 hour, 2003)

This wonderful hiking trail peaks out on Mt. Kintoki (1213 meters above sea level), offering a panoramic view with Mt. Fuji and the Hakone hot spring area. The first part is relatively flat before a strenuous climb (mostly stairs) going up the the peak. The total hiking time is 5-6 hours, if you choose to return to Ashigara Station (on the Gotemba Line, not on th Odakyu Line), you can treat yourself to the hot springs which is about about a 15 minute walk from the station.
