Mount Shōjigatake

障子ヶ岳

Nishikawa, Yamagata · Elevation 1,482 m

A 1,481.5 m rock peak on the border between Tsuruoka City and Nishikawa Town in Yamagata Prefecture, set on the southern part of the Asahi Range within Bandai-Asahi National Park. The name comes from the dramatic 300 m slab face called 'Murasaki-nade' on its south flank, which stands 'like a shōji screen'. The peak adjoins Tengu-Sumotori-yama, and the Yamagata Prefecture Mountain Portal describes a loop hike from Ōisawa in Nishikawa Town using the steeper north route and the longer south route.
