Mt. Yakushisan

薬師山

Kaneyama, Yamagata · Elevation 437 m

A 437 m peak in Kaneyama Town in northern Yamagata, forming with Nakanomori and Kumotakamori the trio long known as the "Three Peaks of Kaneyama." The British traveller Isabella Bird, who passed through Kaneyama in 1878, famously called them the "Pyramids of Japan." A pronounced erosion scar marks the upper east face, and a small shrine on the summit overlooks Kaneyama Town and the Kamuro Range. The mountain is listed in the Yamagata Hyakumeizan.
