Mount Taihei, Mountain summit in Akita, Japan.

Mount Taihei rises 1,170 meters above sea level, featuring a loop trail through dense forests and rocky slopes in central Akita Prefecture.

The mountain held strategic significance as a sacred site, where local communities established shrines and conducted religious ceremonies throughout centuries.

The mountain spirit remains enshrined at Hiromote shrine in Akita City, reflecting traditional Japanese beliefs about natural landmarks and spiritual connections.

Visitors access the mountain via The Boon Amusement Park trailhead, beginning with steep stairs before transitioning to extended forest paths.

The mountain's name appears on local Taiheizan sake bottles, produced in the region using water sources from the surrounding natural springs.
