Mt. Butsugu
仏具山
Iwaki, Fukushima · Elevation 671 m
Mt. Butsugu (670 m) rises in the Tabito-Minami-Ōhira district of Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, and is included in the New Utsukushima 100 Famous Mountains and Quiet Mountains lists. According to tradition the Heian-period monk Tokuichi built a hall at the summit in the early ninth century and enshrined a Kannon image he had carved himself, and a Kikuta Kannon hall still stands on the mountainside. The Akiyama Shindō Course, opened and maintained by the local alpine club, starts from the former Minami-Ōhira branch school and climbs one of Iwaki's steepest grades to a summit that opens onto views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding Abukuma Highland.
