Mt. Washigasu

鷲ヶ巣山

Murakami, Niigata · Elevation 1,093 m

Mt. Washigasu is a 1,093 m peak at the western edge of the Asahi Range in Iwak崩, Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture, listed in the Niigata 100 Meizan, Echigo Hyakuzan, and Yabuiwa-damashii. Three sharp summits — Mae-no-take, Naka-no-take, and Washigasu — chain together along the ridge, demanding far more stamina than the elevation suggests. The mountain has been a sacred site since the founding of Washigasu-Gongen Shrine in 1190, and yamabushi ascetics practice the annual 'Yamakake' pilgrimage every April 7.
