Mount Sobu, Mountain summit in Kami and Toyooka, Japan.
Mount Sobu is a mountain summit located between Kami and Toyooka, surrounded by dense beech forests and rocky cliffs. Multiple hiking routes cross the peak with varying elevation changes and different terrain conditions.
The mountain region was an important mining area from the 17th to the mid-20th century, extracting copper and lead from underground deposits. This extraction activity shaped the development of the surrounding communities for generations.
Japanese mountaineers Buntaro Kato and Naomi Uemura frequently climbed Mount Sobu, establishing its reputation in Japanese climbing circles.
Access to the mountain starts from Manba Ski Resort parking area, with the hike taking roughly seven hours to complete the full route. The trail involves steady climbs and requires sturdy footwear and preparation for changing weather conditions.
From the summit, several neighboring mountains and coastal views become visible across different seasons, including Mount Hyonosen and the Sea of Japan. These distant views reveal the broader geography of the region with clarity.
