Mount Shiroji

白地山

Kosaka, Akita · Elevation 1,034 m

Mount Shiroji (1,034 m) rises on the western shore of Lake Towada in Kosaka Town, Akita Prefecture, as one of the outer-rim peaks of the Towada caldera within Towada-Hachimantai National Park. A long, narrow plateau wetland — the Shiroji Marsh — spreads near its broad summit, blooming with alpine flowers such as Narthecium asiaticum from late June through July. The standard trail begins at Namari-yama Pass on the Jukai Line and passes the Hakuun-tei viewpoint; Kosaka Town hosts an annual mountain-opening ceremony in early summer. The peak is included in the One Hundred Mountains of Tōhoku.
