Mt. Memuro (1,753 m) is located in the border of the towns of Memuro, Shimizu and Hidaka to the west of Obihiro City in Hokkaido. It is in the northernmost end of the Hidaka Mountain Range, which stretches over 100 km from north to south in southeastern Hokkaido. Among the precipitous mountains in Hidaka Mountains, it has a relatively gentle appearance. With the trail along the northeastern ridge maintained in a good condition, it is known as an accessible mountain for its high altitude.

Mt. Memuro is also famous for abundant alpine flowers. Climbers can enjoy viewing various alpine plants walking along the 4-hour climbing route to the summit.

Right to the west of the summit is the western peak of this mountain, which is popularly called Mt. Pankenushi. The name “Mt. Memuro” sometimes includes both two peaks. It may be a good idea to walk along the ridge to the west peak, where you can command a magnificent view of the Hidaka Mountain Range far below in the south.
