妻女山, Mountain summit in Niigata Prefecture, Japan.

Tsuma-Onna is a 411-meter mountain in Niigata Prefecture with multiple trails winding through dense forest to reach the summit. The top features an observation area where visitors can see the surrounding landscape.

The mountain preserves geological records that show the tectonic movements shaping the Japanese islands over millions of years. The rock formations visible on the slopes provide evidence of these ancient earth processes.

The mountain serves as a local hiking destination where visitors from nearby communities regularly walk among the trees and enjoy views from the summit. People gather here throughout the year, particularly during seasons when the vegetation changes noticeably.

The mountain can be accessed from several starting points, with parking areas available near the main trails. Signs along the way provide information about terrain conditions and route options to help visitors navigate safely.

The mountain contains different plant species at various altitudes, creating distinct ecological zones within a small vertical space. This means visitors can experience multiple ecosystems while walking up the same route.

Elevation above the sea: 411 m
