Mount Yamainudake Trekking Tour: Relax in Mysterious Moss-Covered Lands

Mount Yamainudake is named so because the stones on its summit resemble an open-mouthed Yamaiunu wolf. In this place, one of the largest moss-covered forests in Japan is interwoven with groups of megaliths, creating a vast space that seems to have been taken out of fantasy. In times past, it was home to a Shugendo temple, and one of its highlights is the stone Buddhas of the mini Shikoku 88 pilgrimage sites that dot its moss-covered valley. There are many terraced rice fields leading up to the entrance of the mountain trail and the site of an old mountain residence.
