Seppiko-Mineyama Prefectural Natural Park

The park spans across 101 square kilometers, encompassing mountainous terrain with diverse flora and fauna within the municipalities of Asago, Himeji, Kamikawa, and Shiso.

Established in 1963, the park represents Japan's commitment during the mid-20th century to protect natural resources through designated conservation areas.

The mountain areas within the park maintain connections to Shugendo practices, with certain sections reserved for traditional ascetic training activities.

Visitors can access multiple hiking paths, rest areas, and information centers through public transportation from nearby urban centers in Hyogo Prefecture.

Mount Seppiko, rising to 915 meters, belongs to the San-hiko-san group and features among both the Hyogo 50 mountains and Kinki 100 mountains lists.
