Mount Daifugen

Mount Daifugen is a mountain summit in Nara Prefecture standing at around 1,780 meters with dense forests throughout its slopes. Multiple hiking trails cross the area, passing through varied vegetation zones as they gain elevation.

The mountain was included in two notable collections: the 100 Famous Kansai Mountains and the Nara 100 Mountains lists. This recognition established it as a valued destination in the region.

The mountain holds meaning in local traditions where people connect with nature through spiritual customs and seasonal observances.

Several entry points lead to the mountain, each equipped with parking areas and rest facilities at the base. The access is well organized to accommodate hikers of different skill levels.

From the summit you gain views of neighboring peaks across the region, especially striking in early morning when fog fills the valleys below. This dawn view rewards hikers for their climb in unexpected ways.
