Mt. Taizō
胎蔵山
Sakata, Yamagata · Elevation 729 m
Mt. Taizō (729 m) is a sacred peak in the Dewa Hills of eastern Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture, counted among the Yamagata 100 and Michinoku 120 mountain lists. According to tradition the mountain was opened by Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi), and a Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) image is enshrined at the summit, unveiled to worshippers only at the spring festival on May 3. Two routes — the Motodazawa Course and the Nakazato Course — climb to the summit ridge, where spring wildflowers and autumn colors draw local hikers and school nature outings.
