Mount Sajikigatake

Mount Sajikigatake rises to an elevation of 895.9 meters within the Kitayama mountain range, featuring dense forest cover and multiple hiking trails to its peak point.

The mountain has maintained its position as a geographical landmark in Kyoto Prefecture throughout centuries, serving as a natural boundary and orientation point for local communities.

The mountain paths connect to Shimyo-in Temple, reflecting the traditional Japanese integration of religious structures within natural mountainous landscapes of the region.

Hikers can access the mountain through Kumogahata-cho, following marked trails that require approximately four hours of walking time to reach the summit.
