Mount Aonegamine, Mountain summit in Yoshino and Kawakami, Japan
Mount Aonegamine is a summit within Yoshino-Kumano National Park, rising to approximately 858 meters and surrounded by dense forest. Multiple trails traverse the mountain, linking different trekking areas within the protected zone.
Local communities relied on this peak as a vantage point for centuries to survey the surrounding lands. The position served both agricultural planning and territorial security needs.
This peak belongs to the Nara 100 Mountains, a collection that represents the natural character of Nara Prefecture. Visitors moving through the slopes encounter diverse forest plants that shift with the seasons.
Marked trails lead up the mountain with options ranging from easier to more challenging routes. Parking is available at the main access points, though arriving early on weekends helps secure a spot.
Native plant species create distinct seasonal transformations across the forest, from spring blooms to winter snow. Visitors notice how the same slopes appear completely different when visited at different times of year.
