Central Iwate

It is located approximately in the middle of the Ura-Iwate Mountain Range course that runs from Mt. Iwate to Hachimantai. It is a mountain where sticky lava erupted from the center of the gently sloping mountain, and its name comes from the fact that the area around the summit looks like three peaks from any direction. Mitsuishi Sanso is located in Mitsuishi Wetland, which has a pond and wetlands. Altitude: 1,466m. The Amihari course is suitable for the general public, starting from Amihari Onsen, passing through the Mitsuishi Wetlands, and then reaching the summit of the mountain.
