Mt. Toritateyama

取立山

Katsuyama, Fukui · Elevation 1,307 m

Mt. Toritateyama is a 1,307-meter peak on the Fukui-Ishikawa prefectural border in the Ryōhaku Range, within the Okuetsu-Kōgen Prefectural Natural Park and Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Valley Geopark. Its northern slope is famous for a population of roughly 3,000 mizubashō (Asian skunk-cabbage), which peak around Golden Week and bring large crowds of hikers each spring. The summit offers a sweeping view of Hakusan to the east, with the standard climbs starting at the forest-road parking beyond the closed Higashiyama Ikoi-no-Mori — either the direct Toritateyama route or the circular Ōtaki–Kotsuburi route. It is included in the Hokuriku Hyakuzan, Fukui Prefecture mountain guide, and Nihon-no-Yama 1000 lists.
