Mount Kintoki (金時山), also known as Mount Ashigara (足柄山), is a 1,212m high mountain located on the border of Kanagawa and Shizouka prefectures in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
The mountain is known for being the birthplace of Kintaro (a child with superhuman strength in Japanese folklore) and there is a shrine dedicated to him near the starting point of the hiking course.
