The entire mountain is inhabited by natural monuments and other animals, including konohaku (a species of owl) and rare plants. The Horai-ji Temple is located halfway up the mountain after climbing 1,425 stone steps. It is a hidden spot with many attractions, including an 800-year-old cedar umbrella tree, designated as a national natural treasure.

Climbing the mountain gives me a sense of accomplishment.
