Daisengen-dake, Mountain summit in Matsumae, Japan.
Daisengen-dake rises to an elevation of 1071 meters, featuring dense Japanese beech forests and offering views across the Tsugaru Straits toward Honshu island.
The mountain housed a gold mine in the 1600s where 106 Japanese Christians were executed during the religious persecution of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1639.
The mountain's name translates to 'great one thousand houses,' connecting to both the structures along gold-panning canals and the Asama faith in Shintoism.
Four main climbing routes access the summit: the New Road, Old Road, Kaminokuni Ishisaki, and Sengen route, with round trips ranging from 4 to 8 hours.
The Sengen Plateau contains a memorial cross and displays specific flora including Matsumura cinquefoil and Narcissus-flowered anemone after snow melts.
