Mount Hiwada, Mountain summit in Hidaka, Japan.

Mount Hiwada rises 305 meters above Hidaka, featuring stone paths that wind through dense forests and lead to elevated viewing platforms at its peak.

The mountain area became a designated settlement space in 716 when Korean refugees established communities in the Kanto region following conflicts in their homeland.

Two traditional torii gates mark significant points along Mount Hiwada's trail, serving as spiritual markers within the natural landscape of Saitama Prefecture.

The hiking route from Koma Station to Mount Hiwada's summit takes approximately 40 minutes, with clear pathways suitable for beginners and intermediate hikers.

The mountain forms part of a protective formation with Mount Takasashi and Mount Monomi, creating a natural semicircle barrier around the city of Hidaka.
