Ryū Zan
瀧山
Yamagata, Yamagata · Elevation 1,362 m
Ryū Zan (1,362.1 m) rises above Zao-Onsen in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture, as a frontal peak of the Zao Range. Like the central Zao peaks, it has long been a mountain of religious devotion, with Ryuzan-jinja at its summit. Several maintained trails climb the mountain — from Maetaki, Ubagami and Zao Skycable — each taking about two hours one way. The summit overlooks the Zao range and Yamagata Basin, and the mountain lies inside Zao Quasi-National Park.
