Mt. Kamegamori
瓶ヶ森
Saijo, Ehime · Elevation 1,896 m
Mt. Kamegamori (1,896 m) straddles the border of Saijō City in Ehime and Ino Town in Kōchi within Ishizuchi Quasi-National Park, ranking as the second-highest summit of the Ishizuchi Range after Mt. Ishizuchi itself. Its broad summit plateau is carpeted in dwarf bamboo grass and crowned by twin peaks—the lower Otokoyama and the higher Onnayama—offering sweeping views of Mt. Ishizuchi and the surrounding ridges. Easily reached via the Kamegamori Forest Road (the so-called "UFO Line") that runs along the ridge near the summit, it is counted among Japan's 300 Famous Mountains and the 100 Famous Mountains of Shikoku.
