Muine-yama

Mount Muine rises to an elevation of 1,464 meters, featuring dense forests of silver firs and birch trees leading to dwarf pines at its peak.

The geological formation of Muine-yama occurred through extensive volcanic activity and natural erosion processes spanning thousands of years in the Hokkaido region.

Local residents maintain spiritual connections to the mountain through traditional practices and seasonal celebrations that honor the natural environment.

Hikers can access the mountain via the Usubetsu Route, starting from Jozenkey onsen, with clear trail markers guiding them through different elevation zones.

The mountain provides observation points for viewing multiple volcanic formations, including the neighboring Yotei-san, while surrounded by endemic bird species.
