Mt. Kotobiki

琴引山

Iinan, Shimane · Elevation 1,013 m

Mt. Kotobiki is a 1,013.4 m sacred peak in Tonbara, Iinan Town, Iishi District, Shimane Prefecture, already recorded in the 8th-century Izumo-no-Kuni Fudoki. Its name comes from a legend that the sacred koto of Ōkuninushi-no-Mikoto is enshrined here, and tradition says that the eight million deities gathering at Izumo Taisha each tenth lunar month descend first onto Kotobiki-san. The Kotobiki Shrine sits near the summit with a rock cave said to enshrine the koto. From the top, a 360-degree view reaches Mt. Daisen, Mt. Sanbe and the Sea of Japan over surrounding beech forest. The standard Sami route from the Kotobiki Forest Park Ski Area takes around 90 minutes one way.
