Mt. Hishi

菱ヶ岳

Aga, Niigata / Agano, Niigata · Elevation 974 m

Mt. Hishi (974 m) is the highest summit of the Gozu range, rising at its southern end on the border between Agano City and Gosen City in Niigata Prefecture, and is included in the Niigata prefectural guide and the 100 Onsen-side Mountains list. With Mt. Gozu and Mt. Matsudaira to the north it forms the three principal peaks of the Gozu range. The hot-spring villages of Deyu, Imaita and Murasugi at its foot — collectively the Gozu Onsen district — make it a popular onsen-hiking destination, with the climbing season beginning each year at the May 3 Gozu range mountain-opening ceremony.
