Mount Gozaisho

Mount Gozaisho, located in Komono Town, Mie District, Mie Prefecture, is a 1,212-meter sacred peak representing the Suzuka Mountains. The Yunoyama Onsen spreads out at its foot, and its appeal is that you can easily reach near the summit using the ropeway. It is a spot full of natural energy, known for its magnificent nature, the grand panorama from the summit, and the paper-crane love legend of Ao Falls.

Highlights
