Mt. Oyama has roads, hiking paths, and a cable car going up the mountain. The main road (accessible by bus) goes up through a valley on the mountain until it reaches near the cable car station.

Most people only go halfway (elevation 700 meters) up the mountain to Oyama Afuri Shrine's Shimosha (Lower Shrine). People wanting a more challenging trek can hike to the summit to visit the Honsha main shrine. Mt. Oyama is 1,252-meters high (4,108 ft) and part of the Tanzawa Mountains.
