Omine Mountain Range
The Omine Mountain Range is a profoundly mountainous area known as the Roof of the Kinki Region and comprises, from north to south, a series of famous peaks: Mt. Sanjogatake (birthplace of the Shugendo school of Buddhism), Mt. Hakkyogatake (highest peak in the Kinki region), and Mt. Shakagatake (dominant peak of the southern part of this area).
At present, in addition to spiritual mountain climbing centering on Mt. Sanjogatake, the mountains have been used in various ways including hiking and competitive mountain climbing.
