Mount Kannon-mine

The hiking trail leading to the Mount Kannon-mine Observatory (elevation 1285 meters, with the summit of Mount Kannon-mine reaching 1347 meters) is a popular route throughout the seasons because of the well-maintained mountain paths. Hikers can enjoy a genuine mountain panorama in about 90 minutes from the trailhead. From the observatory at the summit, one can marvel at a rare and expansive mountain view in the Kansai region, featuring landmarks such as Mount Inamura-gatake and Mount Dainichi to the front, Mount Misen and Hakkyo-gatake from the Omine Okugake-michi to the south, and a distinct overlapping mountain range to the west.
