Mt. Mikusa

三草山

Nose, Osaka / Inagawa, Hyogo · Elevation 564 m

Mt. Mikusa is a 564 m satoyama summit on the boundary of Nose Town (Osaka) and Inagawa Town (Hyōgo), recorded under the ancient name Minume-yama. The 14.5 ha "Mikusayama Zephyrus Forest" on its lower slopes — a managed grove of Quercus glandulifera and serrata oaks — supports 10 of Japan's 25 Zephyrus hairstreak species, including the eastern range limit of the broad-bordered green hairstreak (Hirobi-midori-shijimi). Since 1992 the Osaka Green Trust public-interest foundation has overseen traditional satoyama management here, and Osaka Prefectural Nature Conservation Ordinance prohibits insect or animal collection in the forest. Listed in the Osaka 50 Mountains and Furusato Hyōgo 100.
