Tanzawa

nihongo|Tanzawa|丹沢 is a mountainous area in the Kantō region. Although the name is not formally recognized by the authorities, it covers the northwestern part of Kanagawa Prefecture and touches the prefectural borders of Shizuoka Prefecture to the west and the Yamanashi Prefecture to the north.

Climbers come from various parts of the county, but there have been a growing number of international climbers. The peak most frequented by climbers is Tonodake (塔ノ岳) in the eastern part, mainly due to its easier transportation access. Tonodake is 1,491 m (4,891 ft). The western part is less often visited, but offers the opportunity of river trekking or sawanobori (a form of mountaineering).
