Mount Mikuni

Mount Mikuni rises to 1644 meters above sea level, featuring diverse terrain patterns across three prefectures: Yamagata, Fukushima, and Niigata.

The mountain formed during the Middle-Late Miocene epoch, resulting in distinct geological formations that characterize the regional landscape of central Japan.

Local communities from three different prefectures maintain traditional hiking paths to the summit, marking boundaries between historical Japanese provinces.

Visitors access the mountain through established trails connecting multiple entry points, with detailed topographical maps available from the Geographical Survey Institute.

The summit position creates a natural marker where three Japanese prefectures intersect, offering views spanning across multiple administrative regions.
