Hachimantai, Stratovolcano and plateau in Towada-Hachimantai National Park, Japan.
Mount Hachimantai rises to 1,613 meters with a flat summit, featuring numerous ponds, marshlands, and evergreen forests across its volcanic terrain.
The Matsuo sulfur mine, discovered in 1882 near Mount Chausu, operated until 1971 and employed numerous workers in the Hachimantai region.
The mountain received its name when General Sakanoue no Tamuramaro declared the location as the residence of the kami Hachiman during his military campaign.
Visitors can reach the summit through multiple walking trails from the parking lot, with journey times ranging between 40 minutes and two hours.
The mountain contains the Hachiman-numa Pond, a significant wetland measuring one kilometer in circumference, surrounded by rare alpine vegetation.
