Ōta-shi, Gunma · Elevation 239 m
Mt. Kanayama (239 m), also known as Nitta-Kanayama, is a free-standing hill at the centre of Ōta City, Gunma Prefecture. The whole mountain was fortified in the Sengoku period as Kanayama Castle, whose well-preserved dry moats, earthen ramparts, and stone walls earned designations as a National Historic Site and one of Japan's Top 100 Castles. Nitta Shrine stands at the summit overlooking the Ōta plain, and the slopes are noted for cherry blossoms and azaleas in spring and autumn foliage. It appears in lists such as the "100 Mountains of Gunma".
