This mountain was an underwater volcano tens of millions of years ago. The coral reefs of the period formed limestone rock of good quality.
Most visitors climb the mountain by bus or car via a toll road called “Ibukiyama Driveway”.
The length of this road is 17 km and the entrance is at the south base of the mountain. Check here more information about Ibukiyama in an article already published on Portal Mie.
The landscape impresses with the beauty of the mountains and Biwako.
Many photographers go to the site to record the beautiful images:
The mountain is known for its various fields of wild flowers, including some alpine plants.
The end of the road is at the ninth station, at 1,266 meters high, where there are three walking trails to the top.
At the top of the mountain, the temperature drops significantly and can be quite windy.
For those who are willing to climb one of the hiking trails, in the Sky Terrace area, it is good to go with comfortable shoes, bring appropriate hiking equipment and warm clothing.
