Mount Higurashi

日晩山

Masuda, Shimane · Elevation 743 m

A 743.4 m peak on the boundary between Hatada and Mito (Yamamoto) in Masuda City, Shimane Prefecture — the highest summit within Masuda's original municipal limits. Tradition tells that Sugawara no Michizane, exiled to Dazaifu, crossed the pass after sunset and walked through the night, giving the mountain its name ("sundown mountain"). A two-story observation tower stands on the top. A roughly 5 km walking route follows part of an old highway and forms a circuit via Higurashi Pass and Jataki.
