Mount Wakui

Japanese: 涌蓋山 - わいたさん
Mount Wakui
It is a lava dome located at the northwestern end of Mt. Kokonoe, with an elevation of 1,500m. The summit is part of Kokonoe Town in Oita Prefecture, close to the border with Kumamoto Prefecture. Across the upper reaches of the Kusu River, it stands alone among the high peaks of Mt. Kokonoe, and its beautiful conical shape has earned it the nickname Kusu Fuji. It is one of the oldest peaks in the Kuju Mountains, and its summit has been significantly eroded. From the summit, one can enjoy a magnificent view of the Kokonoe mountain range, Mt. Hane, and more. There are an abundance of hot springs at the foot of the mountain, including Sujiyu. [Kobayashi Tetsuo]
