Hayachine Mountain

At 1,917 meters above sea level, Mt. Hayachine is the highest peak in the Kitakami Mountains. Huge rocks and boulders are exposed all over the mountain surface, and between them are blooming beautiful alpine plants that have survived the harsh elements. Of the three mountain climbing courses, the most common are the Kawaranobo course and the Odagoe course. Although the slope is steep, even beginners can reach the summit in about 3 hours. Mt. Hayachine, famous for its alpine plants, has beautiful autumn leaves in the forest zone.The vivid autumn leaves spread out at the base of Mt. Hayachine, which is made up of serpentine rocks, is not only a splendid view from the foot of the mountain, but also at the 5th station. The panoramic view from nearby is spectacular.
