Maku Yama, Volcanic lava dome in Yugawara, Japan.
Mount Maku rises to an elevation of 626 meters, featuring distinctive rock walls of columnar joints that encircle the mountainside in Yugawara, Kanagawa Prefecture.
The volcanic structure formed approximately 150,000 years ago within the ancient rim of Mount Hakone, contributing to the geological evolution of the region.
The mountain's name derives from its rock formations resembling theater curtains, connecting to traditional Japanese Kabuki stage design elements.
Visitors can access the summit through multiple hiking trails from Makuyama Park, with the ascent taking approximately 70 minutes to complete.
Makuyama Park, at the mountain's southern base, contains 4,000 plum trees planted in 1954 by local blacksmiths to prevent landslides and enhance tourism.
