Shichimenzan

It is a mountain in the southwest of Yamanashi Prefecture, forming the front mountain of the Akaishi Mountains. Its altitude is 1,989 meters. A large collapse called "Nanaitagara" on the eastern slope from the summit is a landmark that can be seen from afar. The mountain is about 7 kilometers southwest of Mt. Minobu, and the summit is owned by Mt. Minobu Kuonji Temple (an exclave of Minobu Town). It is a sacred place for the Nichiren sect, founded by Nichirou Shonin. At the summit are Keishin-in Temple (the main temple of Mt. Shichimen), among others. There is a route to the top via Mt. Minobu Okunoin, or by bus to Sumise (Hayakawa Town) and climbing along the Haruki River.
