Mount Tashiro

Mount Tashiro reaches an elevation of 1,178 meters, featuring dense beech forests on its lower slopes and a multistage wetland system with 120 ponds near its summit.

The mountain's shrine was established by Tendai monk Ennin and later became the foundation for a larger shugendo shrine in the Hinai region.

The local population considers Mount Tashiro a protective deity responsible for safeguarding farmers, agricultural activities, and religious establishments in the surrounding area.
