Mt. Buko
"A mountain straddling Chichibu City and Yokoze Town. The mountain's name, comprised of characters meaning ""warrior"" and ""armor,"" is derived from a legend which says the mythical prince Yamato Takeru made an offering of arms to the mountain to pray for good luck in battle. The magnificent form of the 1,304-meter-high mountain serves as a symbol of the Chichibu area. There are two trails on the mountain - the Ubukawa Course, which starts on the Yokoze Town side; and the One Course, which starts at the former site of the Choja Yashiki residence on the Chichibu City side. From the top of the mountain, visitors can get a sweeping view of the Chichibu Basin. There are also hiking trails in the surrounding area."
