Mount Ishizuchi, located at Saijo City in Ehime Prefecture, is the highest mountain in western Japan, with an elevation of 1,982 meters. Find information on recommended hiking routes, the best season for hiking, and how to get to the starting point of the hiking trail.
September is my favourite time for this hike. The autumn colours of red, yellow and orange are nothing short of spectacular. In a country of mountains, it is no surprise Mount Ishizuchi is listed as one of the 100 most famous in Japan.
