Mount Yasuman, Sacred mountain summit in Hirado, Japan
Mount Yasuman reaches 530 meters in elevation, featuring flat terrain at its peak surrounded by steep slopes composed of volcanic rocks and tuff formations.
The mountain served as a central point for mountain worship since ancient times, with the Hakusan Shrine established near its summit in 718.
The mountain contains stone monuments and natural rock shrines that Hidden Christians used as objects of worship during the period of Christian persecution.
The hiking trail starts at Yamano-Iriguchi bus stop, accessible by a 20-minute ride from Hirado Bridge, with parking facilities and basic restrooms at the base.
The mountain functions as a water source for Hirado City residents through the Minotsubo River Dam, with its slopes covered in evergreen forests.
