Mount Osore sits in the Shimokita peninsula of Aomori prefecture. The mountain is one of the most sacred places in Japan, and much of its scenery has connections of some sort of allusion to hell or the afterlife. The mountain may be eerie, but it isn’t meant to scare its visitors. In a good way, it is the closest place to the afterlife, and maybe you can find a special, spiritual connection.
Mount Osore is actually an active volcano, measuring 879 meters tall. It is located on the Shimokita peninsula of Aomori prefecture. Although its last eruption occurred approximately 20,000 years ago, there are still some minor movements in the volcano’s caldera lake.
