Iōzen, Mountain summit in Kanazawa and Nanto, Japan.

Mount Iōzen rises to 939 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between Ishikawa Prefecture and Toyama Prefecture in central Japan.

The Sozen-ji Temple near Mount Iōzen preserves artifacts from the ancient Shugendō religious practices, including items connected to the monk Taichō.

The mountain's name, written as 医王山 in Japanese characters, reflects traditional spiritual connections through its meaning as 'Mountain of the Medicine King'.

The IOX-AROSA Ski Resort on the eastern slope provides winter sports facilities, while multiple hiking trails lead to the summit during warmer seasons.

The mountain maintains two distinct elevations: 939 meters at its highest point in Kanazawa and 847 meters at its secondary peak in Nanto.
