Mount Ichifusa

Mount Ichifusa rises to 1,720.8 meters between Kumamoto and Miyazaki Prefectures, featuring multiple hiking trails through dense forest sections and rocky terrain points.

The mountain served as a significant triangulation point during Japan's geographical mapping initiatives, leading to its inclusion in the 100 Famous First Order Triangulation Station Mountains.

Local communities from both Kumamoto and Miyazaki prefectures maintain traditional practices of seasonal mountain worship at specific locations across Mount Ichifusa's slopes.

Hikers can access Mount Ichifusa through established trails in Mizukami, Shiiba, and Nishimera districts, with dedicated parking areas at main entry points.

The mountain belongs simultaneously to three distinguished Japanese mountain lists: the 200 Famous Japanese Mountains, 100 Famous Triangulation Stations, and 100 Famous Kyūshū Mountains.
