Mt. Nanakurayama

七座山

Noshiro, Akita · Elevation 288 m

Mt. Nanakurayama is a north–south ridge of seven peaks rising on the northern bank of the Yoneshiro River in the former Futatsui district of Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture. The summits — Matsukura, Ōkura, Sanbon-sugi-kura, Shiba-kura, Mino-kura, Eboshi-kura and Gongen-kura — culminate at 287.4 m on Gongen-kura. In 1764 the range was revered as a sacred mountain inhabited by seven heavenly deities; during the Edo period the Kubota Domain designated it an 'O-jiki-yama' (direct-control forest), protecting the natural Akita cedar and broadleaf forest still seen today. Rugged tuff cliffs, the Gongen cave used by Shugendō ascetics and the Hokke-iwa erosion rocks line the slopes, and the eastern flank forms a Tōhoku Forest Management Bureau Natural Observation Educational Forest. Together with Kimimachi-zaka across the river, it is a symbol of Futatsui; Noshiro City publishes an official Nanakurayama Map (R6) as the standard hiking guide.
