Mt. Houonjisan

法恩寺山

Katsuyama, Fukui · Elevation 1,357 m

Mt. Hōonjisan is a 1,357-meter volcanic peak in Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture, on the Echizen-Kaga border in the Ryōhaku Range. The mountain lies within Hakusan National Park, Okuetsu Plateau Prefectural Natural Park, and the Katsuyama Dinosaur Valley Geopark. The name derives from Hōonji-temple, said to have been founded here by Taichō, founder of the Hakusan faith, when he first opened Mt. Hakusan in 717. The Echizen Zenjō-dō pilgrimage trail from Heisenji-Hakusan Shrine has long ascended past Mt. Mitsugashira, the Hōonji forest-road junction, and Chigodō to the summit, which served as a fuhai (worship-from-afar) point for Mt. Hakusan.
