At 1,917 meters above sea level, Mt. Hayachine is the highest peak in the Kitakami Mountains. Huge rocks and megaliths are exposed all over the mountain surface, and between them are blooming beautiful alpine plants that survived the harsh natural environment of the Ice Age. Of the three mountain climbing courses, the most common are the Kawaranobo course and the Odagoe course in our town. Although the slope is steep, even beginners can reach the summit in 3 hours. At the opening of the mountain, which is held on the second Sunday of June every year, an entrance ceremony is held at the Odagoe trailhead, and a safety prayer festival is held at the summit.
*The Kawaranobo course is closed for the time being due to a collapse.
