A nearly perfect 2,236-metre volcano rising straight from the Japan Sea coast, so symmetrical locals call it 'Dewa Fuji' — with snow lingering into summer, alpine flower meadows, and the cold spring-water falls of Motodaki at its base.
A former Imperial forest opened to the public in 2011, where free boardwalk trails wind through old-growth woods to viewpoints over the 20-metre Komadome Falls — gentle, hushed, and royally well-kept.
