Mount Onoko

Mount Onoko, Volcanic summit in Shibukawa and Takayama, Japan

Mount Onoko is a volcanic peak straddling Shibukawa and Takayama with steep slopes and multiple hiking trails. The mountain features natural paths that cut through rugged terrain in central Japan's mountainous region.

The peak gained recognition as one of the 100 Famous Mountains of Gunma due to its geographical importance. This designation reflects its standing within Japan's mountain landscape and regional geography.

Local people have long viewed this peak as part of their regional identity and mountain traditions. The community connection remains visible through how residents interact with and use the landscape today.

The mountain is accessible via established trails with rest stops and shelters along the routes. Monitoring stations track volcanic activity throughout the year, which visitors should be aware of when planning their hike.

The landscape displays distinct volcanic formations that attract scientists studying geological structures in the region. These features make it a valuable location for understanding how volcanoes shaped Japan's mountain terrain.
