Mount Togakushi, Summit and Mountain in Nagano, Japan
Mount Togakushi reaches 1904 meters in elevation and forms part of the Five Mountains of Northern Shinshu within Myōkō-Togakushi Renzan National Park.
The mountain's name originates from a Japanese myth where the sun goddess Amaterasu hid in a cave, and deities threw the stone door to this location.
Five Shinto shrines exist at the base of Mount Togakushi, including the Okusha Shrine with its remarkable cedar-lined pathway stretching two kilometers.
The complete hiking trail takes seven to eight hours, incorporating rocky ridges, steep slopes, and sections equipped with climbing ladders and chains.
The Togakure school of ninja established its foundations in this mountain during the 12th century, leaving a legacy now preserved in the Togakure Ninpo Museum.
