Mount Ozaku

石裂山

Kanuma, Tochigi · Elevation 879 m

Mount Ozaku is an 879 m rock-walled peak in Kanuma City, Tochigi, set at the south-eastern edge of Maenikkō Prefectural Natural Park. Tradition holds that Shōdō Shōnin opened the mountain to ascetic Buddhist practice, and by the Edo period some 100,000 worshippers across the Kantō region revered it as a deity of good harvests and prosperous trade. A four-hour loop circles from Kasoyama Shrine past the millennial Senbon-Katsura, the Oku-no-miya, the East and West Sword Peaks, the main summit, and Mount Tsuki, threading chains, ladders, and the famed Gyōja-gaeshi Rock — climbers are advised to wear helmets. The peak appears in Shin Hana no Hyakumeizan, Kantō Hyakumeizan, and Tochigi Hyakumeizan.
