Mt. Ojigatake

Mt. Ojigatake rises 234 meters from the Seto Inland Sea shoreline on the border of Tamano and Kurashiki, within Setonaikai National Park. A short walk from the parking lot leads to a Park Center near the summit with a cafe and panoramic views of the Inland Sea, the 12-kilometer Seto Ohashi Bridge to Shikoku, and the islands beyond. Distinctively shaped boulders along the trails draw bouldering enthusiasts; the mountain is recognized as one of the first places the sport gained popularity in Japan. Three hiking trails reach the top in around an hour. Paragliding and other outdoor activities are also available on and around the mountain.
