Mt. Mitsuiwa

三岩岳

Hinoemata, Fukushima · Elevation 2,065 m

Mt. Mitsuiwa (2,065 m) rises in Minamiaizu Town, Minamiaizu District, Fukushima Prefecture, and is counted among the Tōhoku 100, Utsukushima 100, Aizu 100 and many other regional famous-mountain lists. The name derives from three great rocks at the summit, and a ridge to neighboring Mt. Madoake harbors small wetlands and alpine flora — sankayō, tsubame-omoto and shirane-aoi — among old-growth beech forest below. From the top, hikers look out across the Aizu, Nikkō and Nasu ranges. The standard climb from Azuki Onsen rises 1,300 m in about seven hours and is rated for fit hikers; the climbing season runs from late June through late October.
