Mizugaki is a climbing area in Japan, located in the northern part of the Yamanashi Prefecture.^[1] The forest of Mizugaki is owned by the Emperor of Japan.^[2]

It is known for highball bouldering and long trad lines.^[3] The rock consists of granite with many natural pockets. Because of the higher altitude it is also possible to climb in Mizugaki during the summer.^[4]

Jason Kehl can be seen climbing in Mizugaki in the movie Big in Japan. He praises Mizugaki for its beautiful forest setting.^[5]
