Mount Raiden, Quaternary volcano in Shiribeshi Subprefecture, Japan.
Mount Raiden rises to 1,211 meters above sea level in Hokkaido, featuring steep slopes formed by volcanic deposits and dense vegetation throughout its terrain.
The formation of Mount Raiden occurred during the Quaternary period through volcanic activity caused by the Pacific Plate subduction beneath the North American Plate.
Local Ainu communities have integrated Mount Raiden into their traditions, considering the mountain a connection point between earthly and spiritual realms.
Hikers can access Mount Raiden through marked trails starting from the Niseko area, with spring and summer offering the most suitable conditions for climbing.
The mountain contains multiple pyroclastic cones that provide geological evidence of past volcanic eruptions and tectonic movements in the region.
