Mt.Yamainudake

During the Kanbun era, the rocks collapsed from the top of the mountain as a result of a prayer for rain by Hoshakuin Gyosei, a priest of the Nojiri Kannondo Temple. Looking down below, one can see a series of huge blackened rocks. The summit of the mountain before the collapse was called Yamainu-dake (mountain dog's peak) because the rocks looked like a mountain dog with its mouth open. The mountain is also a perfect location for viewing the beautiful autumn leaves and fresh green moss in summer, as well as the 88 temples of the New Shikoku.
