Set within Zaō Quasi-National Park, its eastern face drops away in folding-screen-like cliffs that give the mountain its name. It lies on the South Zaō traverse from Karita Pass via Maeyama and Sugigamine, passing Shibakusadaira, Zaō's only high-moor wetland. It is counted among the 100 Mountains with First-Order Triangulation Points, the 100 Mountains of Tōhoku, and the highest peaks of each prefecture.
