羅漢山

Iwakuni, Yamaguchi · Elevation 1,109 m

Mt. Rakan is a 1,108.9 m peak straddling the prefectural border between Nishiki-chō in Iwakuni City (Yamaguchi) and Saiki district of Hatsukaichi City (Hiroshima), immediately adjacent to the Nishi-Chūgoku Sanchi Quasi-National Park. Its gentle serpentinite slopes and grass-covered flat summit carry a weather radar dome offering a 360-degree panorama over the Seto Inland Sea, the West Chūgoku Mountains and, on clear days, Shikoku. Two campgrounds (Iwakura and Arcadia Village) operate on its slopes, and the maintained Chūgoku Nature Trail leads to the top. Listed in Chūgoku 100 Mountains, Yamaguchi 100 Mountains and other regional lists.
