About this spot

This mountain, made up of three peaks, Ichinodake, Ninodake, and Sannodake, is a symbol of Kawara Town. It has a long history of limestone quarrying, and some of its peaks have taken on a distinctive shape as a result. Viewed from below, the mountain leaves a lasting impression as a unique landscape shaped by both local industry and nature. Take in the mountain ridge rising above the rural scenery as you begin a day that truly captures the spirit of Kawara Town.

Tips

It is convenient to travel by car from central Kawara Town. There are several viewpoints from which to see the mountain, so feel free to stop and admire it from wherever catches your eye along the way.
