Keichozan Mountain rises to 1765 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and dense vegetation across its northeastern and southwestern faces.

The mountain received its current name during the Meiji period, reflecting the geographical resemblance of its peak to a rooster's crest.

Local mountaineering groups organize annual climbing events to Keichozan summit, maintaining traditional routes established by earlier generations of climbers.

The climbing season extends from April through November, with designated parking areas and trail markers guiding visitors through multiple ascending paths.

The summit offers unobstructed views of surrounding valleys at sunrise, when thermal winds create distinct cloud formations around the mountain peak.
