Mount Kinojō
鬼城山
Sōja-shi, Okayama · Elevation 397 m
Mount Kinojō is a 397 m peak in Sōja City, Okayama Prefecture, encircled by a rampart roughly 2.8 km long that forms the ancient mountain castle Kinojō — one of Japan's Top 100 Castles, a nationally designated historic site, and the legendary stronghold of Ura, the ogre of the Momotarō tale. A walking trail follows the restored castle walls, and the Kinojōzan Visitor Center stands at the base. The mountain is listed in Chūgoku Hyakumeizan, Okayama Hyakumeizan, the Okayama Mountain Guide, and 2017's Hundred Low Mountains of Japan.
