Mount Kinpu is considered a moderate level hiking trail, ranked #36 out of 123 mountains in Yamanashi in terms of difficulty. The trail features a fair share of incline, decline, and straight areas with both dirt paths and fenced sections. While it's suitable for hikers with reasonable fitness levels, the 2.5-hour ascent from Odarumi Mountain Hut requires proper preparation and hiking experience. The terrain becomes rockier as you approach the summit, transitioning from forest paths to areas composed of large rocks and stones.
