七時雨山 Nanashigureyama Mt. Nanashigureyama

Jp En


Mt. Nanashigureyama is located on the border of former Ashiro-cho and Nishine-cho (presently consolidated as Hachimantai City). With pastureland and vegetable fields in Tashirodaira Highland spreading at its foot, this mountain looks like a gentle vicinal hill; however it is a full-fledged mountain selected by an alpinist, Motoo Iwasaki as one of Japan’s 100 Fine Mountains. The mountain has two peaks of Minami-mine (South Peak) with an altitude of 1063 m and Kita-mine (North Peak) with 1060 m. Although the stone triangulation marker is laid at the top of North Peak, South Peak is the higher summit, where a small Gongen Shrine is located. Driving through the extensive meadow with Mt. Tashiro on your left and Mt. Nanashigureyama on your right, you will get to the parking lot, where you can command a view of the whole mountain.
