Mt. Kokūzōsan
虚空蔵山
Murakami, Niigata · Elevation 466 m
A 466 m peak in the Saruzawa district of Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture, developed as the Kokūzō Green Park with maintained trails, an arbour and a summit observation pavilion. Beech and oak forests on the slopes shelter a 300-year-old cedar and several small ponds, and the pavilion at the top commands views of the Iide and Asahi mountain ranges. The trailhead is reached via the Kashio–Saruzawa forest road off National Route 7; the easy twenty-minute climb earns the peak a place in Niigata's 50 Selected Mountain Walks.
