Mount Horaiji is a scenic mountain in Aichi Prefecture, known for its natural beauty and historical significance. It's home to the Horaiji Temple, accessible via a challenging 1425-step stone staircase or a less strenuous route. The mountain is famous for its diverse flora and fauna, including the Eurasian scops owl and Mori tree frog. Don't miss the giant "Umbrella Cedar," one of the tallest cedar trees in Japan. The best time to visit is during the autumn foliage season in November, when the "Momiji Festival" takes place. You can reach the mountain by bus from Hon-Nagashino Station or by car via the Shin-Tomei Expressway.
