Mt. Gongen
権現山
Echizen, Fukui · Elevation 565 m
Mt. Gongen is a 565 m peak in the Yanagimoto-chō area of Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, traditionally said to have been opened by the monk Daitoku in 701 CE; the Matsugatake Shrine dedicated to a rain deity stands at its summit. The foot of the mountain is identified as the birthplace of the legendary swordsman Sasaki Kojirō, said to have devised his "tsubame-gaeshi" technique at Yanagi-no-taki Falls at the headwaters of the Iwatani River. A back-trail circuit visiting five waterfalls — including Nuno-daki and Mado-daki — is the most popular ascent. The peak is included in the Fukui Prefecture Mountain Guide and the Echizen 23 Mountains list.
