Mt. Bukozan
Mt. Bukozan
Mt. Bukozan is located in between Chichibu city and Yokoze town of northwestern Saitama Prefecture. The surrounding area has been designated as a Prefectural Nature Park. There are multiple ways to climb the mountain. One is to simply climb up Mt. Bukozan and the other is by taking the Tsumasaka passageway. This mountain is not only valued for its beauty but also for its resources. Many of the building materials come from the mountain.
In Chichibu City, you can visit the Mitsumine shrine and the Chichibu shrine. Also, along with many other events, the “Chichibu Night Festival”, which is open from December 1st to the 6th, is definitely worth a visit. This festival has been mentioned as Japan’s top 3 mountain festivals. This festival holds a history of over 300 years and is on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Assets.
