Mount Tsurugi

剣山

Shimizu, Hokkaido / Memuro, Hokkaido · Elevation 1,205 m

Mount Tsurugi is a 1,204.9-meter peak in northeastern Hokkaido's Hidaka Mountains, where a ridge spurs out into the Tokachi Plain on the border of Shimizu and Memuro towns. Its sharp rock pinnacle, the original Ainu "Eenne-puri" meaning "pointed mountain," lent its sword-shaped silhouette the Japanese name Tsurugi; Tsurugiyama Jinja, dedicated to the mountain's sword spirit, stands at its foot. Despite its modest height, the route includes chains and ladders to a thrilling summit. The mountain lies within Hidaka-Sanmyaku Erimo Tokachi National Park and is counted among the 100 famous mountains of Hokkaido.
