Mount Nakatsumine, Mountain summit in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan
Description
Mount Nakatsumine is a roughly 773-meter peak in Tokushima covered with dense forest and crossed by several hiking routes. The area belongs to the Higashi Sankei Prefectural Natural Park and sits close to Katsuura town.
History
The mountain has been recognized as one of the hundred notable peaks of Shikoku and attracted hikers across different periods of Japanese history. Its reputation as a trekking destination runs deep in the region and persists today.
Culture
Shrines scattered around the mountain reflect how local communities view this place as spiritually important rather than just a walking destination. These small sacred spaces are woven into the rhythm of life for people living in the surrounding villages.
Practical
The hiking trails near Katsuura are clearly marked and easy to find from town. Spring and autumn weather make for the most comfortable hiking, while winter paths can turn slippery.
Did you know?
On clear days, hikers can spot both nearby Katsuura town and the distant Tokushima city from the summit. This double view of built-up and open land makes the climb memorable in a way that purely natural mountains often are not.
