Standing 1,955 meters tall, Mount Tsurugi is Shikoku's second-highest summit and one of Japan's celebrated 100 Famous Mountains. Despite its fearsome name translating to "Sword Mountain," the peak is far from intimidating, offering accessible trails that welcome casual hikers and seasoned trekkers alike. Steeped in history, the mountain has long served as an important center for Shugendo mountain worship. Visitors can take in sweeping alpine views across the rugged Iya Valley while experiencing a serene blend of pristine nature and spiritual heritage.
