Mount Dainichi, Mountain summit in Tateyama, Japan.
Mount Dainichi rises to an elevation of 2501 meters, featuring multiple hiking trails that wind through diverse natural landscapes in the Tateyama region.
The mountain holds significance as a religious site since 717 when Buddhist monk Taicho first ascended its slopes during his spiritual journey.
The name Dainichi derives from Buddhist traditions, referring to the deity Dainichi Nyorai, whose statue once stood at the mountain's peak.
Hikers can reach the summit via a three-hour trek from Yabitsu Pass, with benches at the top providing rest areas for mountaineers.
The mountain spans across two municipalities, Tateyama and Kamiichi, offering different access points and perspectives of the surrounding terrain.
