Mount Ibuki, Mountain summit in Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
Mount Ibuki rises to 1,377 meters between Shiga and Gifu prefectures, featuring extensive grasslands with over 1,000 species of alpine plants at its peak.
The mountain area gained strategic importance near Sekigahara, which became a decisive location for territorial control throughout Japanese military campaigns.
The mountain holds recognition as one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains and maintains its position as the highest elevation point in Shiga Prefecture.
Visitors can reach the mountain by taking the Tokaido Shinkansen to Maibara Station, followed by a local train to Omi Nagaoka Station and a bus to the trailhead.
On February 14, 1927, Mount Ibuki recorded 230 centimeters of snowfall in a single day, establishing one of the highest daily snow accumulations worldwide.
