Mount Himekami, Mountain summit in Morioka, Japan.
Mount Himekami rises 1,124 meters above sea level, featuring four distinct climbing paths through forests and meadows toward its peak in Iwate Prefecture.
The mountain earned its place among the 200 Famous Japanese Mountains, New 100 Famous Flower Mountains, and 100 Famous Tohoku Mountains through regional recognition.
The mountain's name, written as 姫神山 in Japanese characters, represents a significant natural landmark visible from the urban areas of Morioka.
Hikers can reach the summit via the ipponsugi trail, which starts from a meadow with picnic tables and takes approximately two hours to complete.
Lake Gando, visible from Mount Himekami's eastern viewpoint, holds the record for Japan's lowest temperatures, reaching minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter.
