Mount Dōdaira

Mount Dōdaira reaches a height of 875.8 meters and extends across three municipalities: Ogawa, Tokigawa, and Higashichichibu in Saitama Prefecture.

The mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between different administrative regions of Saitama Prefecture since the establishment of modern Japanese prefectures in 1871.

Local residents organize annual mountain festivals during spring, where traditional music performances and nature appreciation ceremonies take place at various points along the trails.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the eastern route offering the most gradual ascent and featuring rest stations every 500 meters.

The mountain contains a network of underground springs that supply natural mineral water to neighboring communities throughout the year.
