Seppiko-Mineyama Prefectural Natural Park, Prefectural nature park in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
Seppiko-Mineyama Prefectural Natural Park is a protected area in Hyogo Prefecture featuring mountain terrain with diverse plant and animal life. The park spreads across several municipalities and includes multiple hiking routes through forested slopes and ridge systems.
The park was designated in 1963 during Japan's push to protect natural areas in the mid-20th century. This decision reflected a broader movement to safeguard mountain landscapes from increased development and resource extraction.
The mountains here are linked to Shugendo, a form of mountain ascetic Buddhism that shaped the spiritual landscape. Visitors can sense how this tradition continues to influence how people view and move through these peaks.
The park is accessible by public transportation from nearby urban centers in Hyogo Prefecture. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and prepare for changing weather, as mountain paths vary in difficulty and conditions depending on the season.
Mount Seppiko rises to 915 meters (3,000 feet) and belongs to the San-hiko-san mountain group. It appears on both the Hyogo 50 Mountains and Kinki 100 Mountains lists that hikers follow.
