Rokkaku Ushiyama

Tono City

Southern Iwate

This mountain, which is one of the three Tono mountains along with Mt. Hayachine and Mt. Ishigami, often appears in the Tales of Tono. Altitude: 1,294.3m. Rokujinishi Shrine, located at the foot of the mountain, is said to have been built by Sakanoue Tamuramaro in the Daido era, and its inner shrine is located at the top of the mountain. Rokkakuushi Shrine is located near the Nukano-mae bus stop along the prefectural road heading towards Fuefuki Pass, and from there you can head to the trailhead. As you pass the 2nd station and are surrounded by oak and beech forests, the path becomes steeper, and from around the 6th station, you can enjoy the sight of Chinese plovers. Additionally, the inner shrine of Rokujinishi Shrine can be used as a shelter in case of bad weather. From the top, you can see the mountains of the Kami Mountains, including Mt. Hayachine and Mt. Goyo.
