Mount Nishi-Hōben, Mountain summit in Yamaguchi, Japan.

Mount Nishi-Hōben is a 741.9 m mountain in Yamaguchi city, Yamaguchi Prefecture, facing Mount Higashi-Hōben across the Yamaguchi basin to the northwest. A paved road runs to the summit, where transmission towers stand, so it draws fewer hikers than its neighbour. Climbing routes include the Jizō Pass course, part of the Higashi-Hōben ridge trail, and the Yoshikibata course.

Mount Nishi-Hōben rises to 741.9 m in Yamaguchi city, facing Mount Higashi-Hōben across the Yamaguchi basin. Unlike its neighbour, it has a road to the summit and rows of transmission towers, so few hikers climb it; walking routes include the Jizō Pass course along the Higashi-Hōben ridge trail and the Yoshikibata course.

The name pairs Nishi, "west", with Hōben, written with the characters for "phoenix" and "flap"; the mountain faces Higashi-Hōben-zan across the Yamaguchi basin. The two are treated as a pair, west and east, in local maps and climbing guides. The summit carries transmission towers and a road, so the name appears more often on maps than on trail signs.

A road runs all the way to the summit, where transmission towers stand, so few hikers climb it compared with neighbouring East Hōben. Walkers use two routes: the Jizō Pass course, which follows the East Hōben ridge trail, and the Yoshikibata course.

A paved road runs all the way to the summit, where transmission towers stand in rows. Because of this, few hikers come compared with neighbouring East Hōben-zan, whose trails are maintained for walkers. The two peaks face each other across the Yamaguchi basin.
