Mount Hakkyō

八経ヶ岳

Tenkawa, Nara · Elevation 1,915 m

Mount Hakkyō, also called Mount Ōmine, is a 1,915 m peak on the boundary between Tenkawa and Kamikitayama villages in Nara Prefecture, the highest summit in the Ōmine range and in the Kinki region as a whole. Its alternative names — Hakkyōgatake, Hakkenzan, and Bukkyōgatake — derive from a tradition that the eight scrolls of the Lotus Sutra were buried in a mound at the summit, and Fukada Kyūya chose this peak to represent the entire Ōmine range in his Hyakumeizan. Within Yoshino-Kumano National Park, the summit area is cloaked in primary forest of Picea jezoensis and Abies veitchii, and the Magnolia sieboldii (Ōyamarenge) that blooms in early July is designated a National Natural Monument. The mountain is traversed by the Ōmine-Okugake-michi pilgrimage trail, part of the World Heritage "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range"; the shortest route climbs from the Gyōja-gaeri Tunnel west portal via Mount Misen.
