Mount Moriya, Mountain summit in Suwa and Ina, Japan.

Mount Moriya reaches an elevation of 1,650 meters between Suwa and Ina cities in Nagano Prefecture, featuring dense forests and mountain trails.

The mountain holds connections to ancient burial sites and archaeological findings that demonstrate the long-standing human presence in the Nagano region.

Local communities celebrate the mountain's importance through the Onbashira Festival, where large logs are transported from the slopes to nearby Suwa shrines.

Hikers can access multiple trails leading to the summit, with the main route starting from the eastern side providing clear directional markers.

The mountain serves as a natural weather indicator for local farmers, with cloud formations around its peak traditionally signaling incoming rainfall.
