Mount Asahi, Mountain summit in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan.
Mount Asahi rises to an elevation of 1,870 meters and marks the border between Yamagata Prefecture and Niigata Prefecture in northern Japan.
The mountain gained recognition through its inclusion in Kyūya Fukada's publication about the 100 notable mountains of Japan.
The name Asahi, meaning morning sun in Japanese, reflects the mountain's position as the first peak to receive sunlight in the region.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the main route starting from the eastern side providing access for mountain climbing enthusiasts.
The mountain features three distinct peaks: Ō-Asahidake at 1,870 meters, Ko-Asahidake at 1,648 meters, and Nishi-Asahidake at 1,814 meters.
