Mt. Sugana

菅名岳

Gosen, Niigata · Elevation 909 m

Mt. Sugana (909 m) rises in eastern Gosen City, Niigata Prefecture, on the western edge of the Kawachi range, where it forms the Suganadake massif with Mt. Ōkura and Mt. Narusawamine. Listed in the Niigata 100 Mountains and Echigo 100 Mountains, it is famed for clear springs such as Dōbara-shimizu, hidden beneath the beech old growth on its flanks; the water is drawn on the kankyū day in January for brewing the local sake "Sugana-dake." Several routes — via Tsubakidaira, the Maruyama Ridge and the Doppara-shimizu spring — climb to the summit, drawing crowds from the late-April mountain-opening through autumn.
