Ishigamiyama

Tono City

Southern Iwate

This mountain, which is counted as one of the Three Mountains of Tono along with Mt. Hayachine and Mt. Rokkaku Ushiyama, has been climbed since ancient times as a mountain of faith and training. (Altitude: 1,038m) A mountain where you can enjoy 305 species of plants in 75 families, including gentian and trumpet. Pass through the wooden torii gate, follow the farm road in the forest, and climb through the larch forest to reach the cedar plantation. When you see the scree on your left, you'll see a chain-locked area, and the Okumiya is located on a ledge-like area with a steep rocky area in the background, offering a wonderful view. Above the inner shrine, there are two chains of about 20 meters in height, which are difficult for beginners and require caution even for advanced climbers. From the summit, you can see Mt. Hayachine and Mt. Rokkakuushi, and the Tono Basin spreads out below those peaks.
