Mount Hirayama

Mount Hirayama (掌山; hira-yama) is a dormant volcanic mountain situated in the Ikumo mountain range in north-west Kanton. It has an elevation of 1,187 metres. The mountain has erupted only twice in recorded history.

The summit of Hirayama is very heavily vegetated, with ancient yew, pine, azalea, and hibiscus plants growing in abundance.

Perhaps the most notable feature that hikers encounter while exploring the mountain is the Hirayama Waterfall, hidden in the folds of the rocky southern face. The waterfall also features an ancient mountain shrine dedicated to Yamakami.
