Mt. Minamisawayama is a 1,564-meter peak on the boundary between Achi Village in Shimoina District, Nagano Prefecture and Nakatsugawa City in Gifu Prefecture, at the southern end of the Central Alps.

Starting from the Furusato-mura Shizen-en (Seinai-no-mori campground), the climb takes about 2.5 hours to reach the summit, which is famous for winter bamboo-grass slopes, rime-ice flowers, and "snow monster" formations. The peak is included in the Gifu Hyakuzan and Shinshū Furusato 120 lists.
