Mount Nukedo, Mountain summit in Takayama, Japan.
Mount Nukedo rises to 2,813 meters in elevation within the Hida Mountains, featuring steep slopes and distinctive quartz-covered eastern faces.
The mountain gained recognition in 1894 when mountaineer Weston completed the first recorded modern ascent of its challenging terrain.
Local mountain worship traditions led religious figures Enku and Banryu to climb Mount Nukedo during the Edo period of Japanese history.
Climbers can access Mount Nukedo through multiple routes from Shinhotaka hot springs, with Kasa Shindo and Koike Shindo paths offering different difficulty levels.
The mountain contains metal mineral deposits in its walls and presents a profile resembling a traditional hat when observed from various angles.
