Mount Kyō

経ヶ岳

Tatsuno, Nagano / Minamiminowa, Nagano · Elevation 2,296 m

Mount Kyō is a 2,296 m peak straddling Ina City and Minami-Minowa Village (Kami-Ina District) in Nagano Prefecture, marking the northern end of the Kiso Range (Central Japanese Alps). The name derives from the kyōzuka sutra mounds and stone Buddhas enshrined on the summit, reflecting its long history as an object of mountain worship; it is listed in the Nihon Nihyaku Meizan and the Shinshū Hyakumeizan. Above the long forested approach the Koinoko viewpoint at the eighth station opens onto a panorama of the Ina Valley, the Southern Alps, and Yatsugatake, with Mount Ontake to the west and the Central Alps' Komaga-take and Hōken-dake to the south. Three main trails serve the peak — from Chūsen-ji at Hahiro on the Ina side (about eight hours round trip), from the Ōizumi-sho dam on the Minami-Minowa side, and from Gonbei Pass — all decorated in season with sasayuri lilies, ayame, and fireweed.
