Mount Amagi, Extinct stratovolcano in Izu Peninsula, Japan
Mount Amagi extends across three municipalities in Shizuoka Prefecture, reaching an elevation of 1,406 meters with its highest point at Banzaburo Peak.
The volcanic formation ceased its activity approximately 200,000 years ago, forming part of the geological structure known as the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc.
The mountain gained literary recognition through Yasunari Kawabata's 1924 short story The Dancing Girl of Izu, which captured the regional landscape.
Visitors can access the mountain via multiple hiking trails, with the main route starting from the Amagi-juusou-tozanguchi parking area and covering 8 kilometers.
The mountain slopes contain natural wasabi fields along stream beds, contributing to Japan's traditional culinary ingredients production.
