Mt. Kagami

鏡山

Karatsu, Saga · Elevation 284 m

Kagami-yama is a 283.5 m peak in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, with a distinctive flat-topped, trapezoidal silhouette. Cited in both the Hizen no Kuni Fudoki and the Man'yōshū, it is also known as Hire-furi-yama ("Banner-Waving Mountain") for the legend of Matsura Sayohime, who is said to have waved her sash from the summit at the departing warrior Ōtomo no Sadehiko. Its Kagami-yama and Hirefuri observation decks overlook the special-scenic-spot Niji no Matsubara pine forest and Karatsu Bay, with Iki Island visible on clear days. The mountain — a noted cherry-blossom and azalea spot — lies within Genkai Quasi-National Park. It is included in the Mountains of Saga (Bunken-tozan-guide) list.
