Mount Haguro, Sacred summit of Three Mountains of Dewa in Tsuruoka, Japan
A stone pathway of 2446 steps winds through ancient cedar trees, leading visitors from the base to the 414-meter peak of Mount Haguro.
The Five-Story Pagoda, constructed in 937 and standing amid cedar trees, represents traditional Japanese architecture and holds National Treasure status.
Mount Haguro functions as a center for Shugendo practitioners who pursue spiritual enlightenment through mountain worship and natural connection.
Visitors can reach Mount Haguro by taking a 40-minute bus ride from Tsuruoka Station to the mountain base throughout the year.
The Sanjin Gosaiden shrine at the summit features Japan's thickest thatched roof, measuring over two meters in depth.
