Mount Taima

This mountain is located in the western part of Kagawa Prefecture, on the border between Zentsuji City and Mitoyo City. It is 616 meters above sea level. It is located in the northern part of a plateau that stretches about 5 kilometers north to south and 2 kilometers east to west, with andesite resting on granite, but the entire plateau, including Mount Kotohira (Zouzusan) in the southeast, is sometimes called Mount Taima. It is part of the Setonaikai National Park, and there is a good view from the summit.
