Nestled between the stations of Hadano and Tsurumakionsen on the Odakyu Odawara line, Mt. Kobo Park is a great easy day hike that offers amazing views of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding areas.

At the top of Mt. Kobo, hikers are greeted with a large overlook. On a clear day, hikers can see Mt. Fuji rising majestically over the city of Hadano. The park is a great picnic location that is frequented by children, couples, and birdwatching enthusiasts. In the springtime, hikers can view cherry blossoms.
