Mae-Kesamaru
前袈裟丸山
Midori, Gunma / Nikkō-shi, Tochigi · Elevation 1,878 m
Mae-Kesamaru is the 1,878-meter southern summit of the five-peak Kesamaru massif, straddling Tochigi's Nikkō and Gunma's Numata and Midori in the southern Ashio mountains. The mountain is a remnant of the ancient Kōkai volcano, and the Tōnosawa trail up its flank passes the carved 'Reclining Buddha' (Neshaka-zō). It carries a first-order triangulation marker and is listed in such selections as Japan's 300 Famous Mountains, the Kantō Hyakuzan, and the Ittō-Sankakuten Hyakumeizan, and is celebrated for its Akayashio azalea blooms in late spring.
