A mountain in the southwest of Gunma Prefecture and the northeast of the Kanto Mountains. It is also called "Mikabuyama." It consists of Higashi-Mikabuyama (1,246 meters) and Nishi-Mikabuyama (1,287 meters), both of which have rounded shapes and are easily visible from around Takasaki. Between the two Mikabuyama lies the saddle of Nageishi Pass. In 1888 (Meiji 21), Koto Bunjiro named the crystalline schists common in this area the Mikabu Formation after this mountain, and together with the Sanbagawa Formation to the east, this area is known as the birthplace of Japanese geology. There is a hiking trail that runs from Kanna Town through Nageishi Pass.

群馬県南西部、関東山地北東部の山。「みかぶやま」ともいう。東御荷鉾山(1246メートル)と西御荷鉾山(1287メートル)からなり、ともに山容は丸みを帯びて高崎付近からよく見える。両御荷鉾山の間に投石(なげいし)峠の鞍部(あんぶ)がある。1888年(明治21)小藤文次郎(ことうぶんじろう)がこの地域に多い結晶片岩類にこの山の名をとって御荷鉾層(みかぶそう)と名づけ、東方の三波川層(さんばがわそう)とともに日本の地質学発祥の地として知られる。神流(かんな)町から投石峠を経る登山コースがある。 [村木定雄] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
