Yashima, Natural monument and historic site in Takamatsu, Japan
The flat-topped mountain rises 293 meters above sea level, offering views of the Seto Inland Sea and surrounding islands throughout the year.
During the Genpei War in 1185, the mountain became the location of a decisive battle between the Minamoto and Taira clans, leading to Taira's defeat.
The Yashima Temple, number 84 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, contains Buddhist artifacts and a statue of Senju Kannon from the eighth century.
Visitors reach the summit through the Yashima Driveway or take a shuttle bus from JR Yashima Station, with multiple parking areas near observation points.
The mountain features Chinoike pond, where according to regional tales, Minamoto warriors washed their swords after the battle, turning the water red.
