Funagata volcano, Stratovolcano on border of Yamagata and Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.

The mountain complex reaches 1500 meters in elevation and features multiple peaks, including Mount Ushiroshirike, Mount Mitsumine, and Mount Izumigatake.

The volcanic formation occurred between the end of the Tertiary period and the beginning of the Quaternary period during the Ou Mountains uplift.

The name Funagata stems from the mountain's shape resembling a boat hull, while in Yamagata Prefecture people call it Mount Gosho.

The mountain offers hiking trails through different elevations, with access points from both Yamagata and Miyagi prefectures through railway stations.

The geological composition reveals andesite structures in the main peaks, contrasting with pigeonite basalt formations found in Mount Kurohana.
