Mount Sanage

Mount Sanage reaches an elevation of 629 meters above sea level, featuring diverse tree species including Japanese cedar, hinoki cypress, and cherry birches.

Religious activities at Mount Sanage began before the ninth century, leading to the establishment of multiple shrines for Shinto-Buddhist practices on its slopes.

The Sanage Shrine complex includes a main shrine at the mountain's southern foot, with two additional shrines positioned along the eastern and western slopes.

Two primary trails extend from Sanage Shrine to the summit, completing a 13.3-kilometer circuit that takes approximately four and a half hours to finish.

From the summit, visitors observe Nagoya city, Ise Bay, Mikawa Bay, and on clear days, distant peaks including Mount Haku and Mount Ontake.
