Mount Asahi
旭岳
Shimogō-machi, Fukushima · Elevation 1,835 m
Mount Asahi, also called Kasshi-Asahidake or Akakure-yama, is an 1,835-metre peak at the northern end of the Nasu Volcanic Group, straddling the boundary between Shimogō Town in Minamiaizu District and Nishigō Village in Nishishirakawa District of Fukushima Prefecture. It lies within Nikkō National Park and forms the headwaters of the Abukuma River. Its striking conical silhouette can be admired from the Kasshi-yama–Bōzunuma–Sanbonyaridake ridge route reached from Kasshi Onsen, and being little-frequented it has been chosen for the Aizu Hyakumeizan and the Zoku Shizukanaru Yama list of quiet peaks.
