Mount Noda

Mount Noda is a summit in the Nodamachi region of Japan that rises to approximately 1,340 meters (4,400 feet) above sea level. The mountain is crossed by established hiking trails that provide access to different elevations and viewpoints along the way.

The mountain formed millions of years ago through tectonic movements that shaped the fold mountains of the Hidaka range. These geological processes continue to define the character of the landscape in this area.

The mountain is known locally by the name Nodayama and serves as a landmark in seasonal celebrations that bring the community together throughout the year.

The best time to climb is from late spring through early autumn when conditions on the trails are most favorable. Sturdy footwear and checking weather conditions before starting are important for a safe visit.

The northern face of the mountain displays distinct geological layers that provide researchers with valuable insights into the region's formation history. These exposed rock layers tell the story of millions of years of geological change.
