Mt. Kabasan

加波山

Sakuragawa, Ibaraki · Elevation 709 m

Mt. Kabasan is a 709-meter peak on the border of Sakuragawa City and Ishioka City in Ibaraki Prefecture, one of the northern peaks of the Tsukuba range. According to tradition the summit shrine, Kabasan Jinja Hongu, was founded by Yamato Takeru, and the mountain has long been worshipped as a sacred peak: shugendo ascetics still perform zenjō rites here, and the mountain is also famed as the site of the 1884 "Kabasan Incident" of the Meiji-era freedom and people's-rights movement. Strange boulders and rows of carved stones scatter the slopes, lending the trail a distinctive spiritual atmosphere, and the peak is featured in the Kanto Hyakumeizan and Nihon Hyaku Reizan lists.
