Mount Mekko, Mountain summit in Nishi-ku, Japan.
Mount Mekko reaches 249 meters in elevation and forms a distinctive pair with Mount Okko within the granite-rich Rokko mountain range of Hyogo Prefecture.
The Kande Shrine, positioned at Mount Mekko's summit, marks the location where deities Susanoo no Mikoto and Kushinada Hime descended to introduce agricultural practices.
Local residents gather daily at 6:30 AM near the Kande Shrine for traditional radio calisthenics, maintaining a strong connection with the mountain.
Hikers can access Mount Mekko via Oinoguchi station using Shinki Bus routes 82 and 36, or through the municipal subway from Seishin-chuo Station.
From the observation platform at Kande Shrine, visitors can view the Akashi Strait Bridge through a needle-shaped statue's opening.
