Mount Osorakan

恐羅漢山

Masuda, Shimane / Akiota, Hiroshima · Elevation 1,346 m

Mount Osorakan (1,346.4 m) straddles Akiōta Town in Hiroshima Prefecture and Masuda City in Shimane Prefecture, and is the highest peak of both prefectures. Lying at the heart of Nishi-Chūgoku Mountains Quasi-National Park, the area behind its summit (Daidokoro-hara) holds a stand of giant old-growth beech, zelkova and Japanese oak. The mountain receives some of the heaviest snowfall in western Japan and hosts the Osorakan Snow Park in winter; in green seasons, a network of trails climbs from the Osorakan Ecology Campground. It is listed in the Hundred Mountains of the Chūgoku region.
