Mt. Tsuchidake
土岳
Takahagi, Ibaraki · Elevation 600 m
Mt. Tsuchi-dake is a 599.7 m peak in the Nakagawa area of Takahagi City, Ibaraki Prefecture, set in the Taga range at the southern end of the Abukuma highlands. Its broad grassy summit opens out to a 360° panorama including Mt. Tsukuba and, on clear winter days, distant Mt. Fuji and the Nasu range. The mountain lies within Hanazono-Hananuki Prefectural Natural Park, with two trails leading up from Keyaki-daira Campground (about 20 minutes) and Kotakizawa Campground (about 70 minutes). Botanically rich, it harbours the only natural wild Edohigan-zakura stand in Ibaraki and the northern limits of Kagonoki and Rinboku, and is a popular half-day hike combined with the autumn colour of Hananuki Gorge.
