Mount Fuji is very iconic with Japan. This is because Mount Fuji is the highest peak of Sakura. Not only Fuji, Japan has many other interesting mountains.
Among the many high peaks possessed by this Naruto character country, there are many low-altitude mountains that are fairly friendly to anyone. Here are 5 of them!
1. Mount Hakodate
Located at an altitude of 334 meters above sea level, Mount Hokadate is among the peaks of the land of Sakura, which is friendly to anyone. The mountain which is located west of the city of Hokadate is a favorite spot at night.
According to the Japan Guide page, the spectacular night view here is the third best in Japan after Mt. Inasa Nagasaki and Mt. Rokko Kobe.
2. Mount Inasa
As mentioned in the first point, Mount Inasa is another favorite spot to see the lights sparkling at night. Reported by the GaijinPot Travel page, although there is a peak located 50 minutes from the Nagasaki Ropeway, visitors usually prefer the spot to see the beauty of the sparkling lights at night.
On the mountain at an altitude of 333 meters above sea level there are also hotels, restaurants and hot springs.
A few minutes away by cable car, you can visit the Fuchi Shrine which are used by many people as a place to ask for everything you want.
3. Mount Takao
Mount Takao is a nature recreation area to see the beautiful view of the metropolitan city, Tokyo. The mountain which has an altitude of 599 meters above sea level is considered sacred since 1000 years ago because there is a temple called Yakuoin. Many visitors usually stop there to pray to Shinto Gods.
In addition to visiting temples, the attraction of this mountain is that there are glass-walled monkey cages, beautiful wild flower gardens, hot spring baths, museums that are never empty of visitors and much more.
If you feel tired with the Tokyo crowd, venturing here is the best alternative.
4. Mount Moiwa
The next friendly mountain for climbers is Moiwa Mount. Located in the center of Sapporo, this mountain has an altitude of 531 meters above sea level.
A trip using the cable car is an alternative so that you don't get too tired to reach the favorite mountain spots that will spoil you with a restaurant that serves delicious food with beautiful views, skiing, entering the planetarium to seeing shows in the theater. Are you interested?
5. Mount Misen
The mountain, which is considered sacred since ancient times, is located on the island of Miyajima, aka the island of Itsukushima. Mount Misen was the first witness of Buddhism practiced by Kobo Daishi, the founder of the Singon sect. Kobo Daishi is also considered one of the holiest people in Japan.
Located at an altitude of 535 meters above sea level, the afternoon is a great time to admire the beauty of the Seto Inland Sea and the small islands around Mount Misen.
As a location that is considered sacred, nuances of spirituality are felt here. There are important buildings for Buddhism, including Reikado Hall, Misen Hondo, Sankido Hall, Daishoin Temple and many more.
