Gozenzawa Glacier is located on the eastern side of Mount Ōyama[1] in the Tateyama Mountains.[2][3]
It was the first recorded glacier in Japan. Before its identification as a glacier, it was believed that the world's most easterly glacier outside Antarctica was on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia.[4]
