Chicken head mountain

Ketouyama (1,445m) is a mountain with a strong presence as a rocky peak in the Hayachine Mountain Range. There are two ways to climb the mountain: one goes to the left side of the mountain and climbs up via Nanaori Falls, and the other goes up through a forested area on a steep slope. Both courses have rough roads with bamboo thickets, so be careful of your footing.
