Mount Heike, Mountain summit in Ono and Seki, Japan.

Mount Heike rises to 1441 meters above sea level, featuring natural trails through dense forests and rock formations across its steep slopes.

The mountain shares its name with the Heike clan, who played a central role in the Genpei War between 1180 and 1185.

Local folklore associates the mountain paths with ancient tales of the Taira clan warriors who sought refuge during their final military campaign.

The spring and autumn months provide the most suitable conditions for hiking, with clear visibility and moderate temperatures at higher elevations.

The mountain holds records of numerous plant species that grow exclusively at different elevation zones from base to summit.
