Mount Moriyoshi, Dormant volcano in Kitaakita, Japan.
Mount Moriyoshi rises to 1,454 meters above sea level in central-eastern Akita, featuring a surrounding caldera measuring 3 kilometers in diameter.
The volcanic activity of Mount Moriyoshi dates between 1.1 million and 700,000 years ago during the Pleistocene epoch, leaving basaltic and dacitic formations.
Local residents name this peak 'madarabeko' in Akita dialect, translating to spotted cow, reflecting regional connections to the mountain landscape.
The Ani Gondola operates daily from 9 AM to 4 PM, offering round-trip transportation to the summit for 1,800 yen per person.
During winter, the mountain trees transform into natural ice sculptures when specific weather conditions create intricate frost formations resembling shrimp tails.
