Chausuyama

Chausuyama is a mountain reaching about 294 meters (964 feet) in elevation located in Kiryū city in Gunma Prefecture. From its summit, visitors can see across the surrounding landscape and the adjacent mountain ranges that extend across the region.

The mountain was included in the 100 Famous Mountains of Gunma collection, a compilation that documents the region's geological significance. This recognition established it as a notable destination within the local landscape and reflects its role in the prefecture's heritage.

The mountain serves as a regular destination for hikers from the surrounding area who visit throughout the seasons. Visitors can observe how the vegetation shifts across the year and notice which plants thrive at different elevations along the trails.

Multiple hiking trails ascend the mountain from Kiryū city, marked with clear signage to guide visitors. Hikers should wear sturdy footwear and bring sufficient water, as sections of the trail may have limited shade during warmer days.

The mountain's location creates specific weather patterns that influence the growth of native plant species found on its slopes. This means visitors may encounter plants thriving here that do not grow as well in lower elevations elsewhere in the area.
