Mt. Hachimanyama

八幡山

Ōmihachiman-shi, Shiga · Elevation 272 m

Hachimanyama is a 271.9 m hill on the northern edge of Ōmihachiman City in Shiga Prefecture, also known as Kakuyokuzan ('Crane-Wings Mountain') for its outspread silhouette. Its summit is the site of Hachimanyama Castle, built in 1585 by Toyotomi Hidetsugu, with the original stone walls and the Murakumo Goten Zuiryūji main compound—relocated here from Kyoto—still in place. The slopes lie within Lake Biwa Quasi-National Park; visitors reach the top by the Hachimanyama Ropeway or via a forty-minute trail from Himure Hachimangu, gaining sweeping views of Lake Biwa, Lake Nishi-no-ko and the Hira range. The peak appears in the Ōmi Hyakuzan, the Ōmi no Yamashiro 70 and other regional lists.
