Mount Hanamagari

Japanese: 鼻曲山 - はなまがりやま
Mount Hanamagari

This mountain is located on the border between Karuizawa Town, Nagano Prefecture, and Naganohara Town and Takasaki City, Agatsuma County, Gunma Prefecture. It is 1,655 meters above sea level. It forms the watershed between the two prefectures, and while the Gunma side has been eroded and has a steep slope, the Nagano side has a gentle slope. The mountain's name comes from the fact that its shape resembles a giant's nose when viewed from the east. There is a hiking trail from Kirizumi Onsen.
