Mount Hiba

比婆山

Shōbara-shi, Hiroshima · Elevation 1,260 m

Mount Hiba is a 1,264 m peak in Shōbara City, Hiroshima, in the central Chūgoku highlands within Hiba-Dōgo-Taishaku Quasi-National Park. The mountain is identified in the Kojiki as the burial place of the goddess Izanami, and a sacred grove around the summit holds her shrine alongside an old-growth beech forest designated as a Hiroshima Prefectural Natural Monument. Together with Mounts Kenashi, Eboshi, Tate-Eboshi, and Azuma it forms a horseshoe ridge known as the Hiba range; a popular loop trail leaves the Hiroshima Prefectural Citizens' Forest, beloved year-round for fresh green, autumn colour, and rime ice. The peak features in Shin Hana no Hyakumeizan, Chūgoku Hyakumeizan, and Hiroshima Hyakumeizan.
