Mount Sōko, Mountain summit in Hiroshima, Japan.

Mount Sōko rises 356 meters above sea level, featuring natural trails that wind through dense vegetation across the slopes of Asaminami-ku and Nishi-ku districts.

The mountain received its name from Ueda Sōko, a significant figure who influenced the development and recognition of this geographical landmark in Hiroshima prefecture.

Local residents maintain traditional practices of seasonal mountain visits, particularly during spring and autumn, to observe natural changes in the landscape.

Multiple access points around the base of Mount Sōko connect to a network of marked hiking paths that lead visitors to observation points.

The mountain serves as a natural laboratory for researchers studying the regional ecosystem, containing specific plant species native to the Hiroshima area.
