Mt. Kujirayama

鯨山

Otsuchi, Iwate / Yamada, Iwate · Elevation 610 m

Kujirayama ("Whale Mountain") is a 610.2 m peak straddling the boundary of Yamada Town and Ōtsuchi Town in Iwate Prefecture, an isolated summit overlooking the Sanriku ria coast. Local legend recounts that during an ancient epidemic a whale beached at Ōtsuchi cured villagers who ate its meat, giving the mountain its name. The summit holds the inner shrine of Kujirayama-jinja, and trails climb from Namiita on the Sanriku Railway and from the Rikuchū-Kaigan Youth Center, forming part of the Michinoku Coastal Trail. The peak is included in the Tōhoku Hyakumeizan, Iwate Hyakumeizan, Nihon-no-Yama 1000 and other regional lists.
