Nikkō-shi, Tochigi · Elevation 2,368 m

Mount Tarō is a 2,368 m volcano in Nikkō City, Tochigi Prefecture, in the Nikkō volcanic group north of Mount Nantai within Nikkō National Park. Together with Nantai and Nyohō, it makes up the Nikkō Sanzan trio. The lava-dome summit holds Tarōsan-jinja, dedicated to Ajisukitakahikone-no-Mikoto. It is listed among the 300 Famous Japanese Mountains, Kantō 100, Tochigi 100, and Kantō Hyakuzan. Nikkō's official tourism association describes a 6-hour-30-minute intermediate round trip from Sannō Pass via Sannō-Bōshi-yama and Ko-Tarō-yama. The ridge beyond Ko-Tarō-yama has rocky and narrow sections requiring particular care in rain and on descent. The summit overlooks Mount Nantai and the Nikkō range.
