Mt. Nishi-Azuma, the highest peak in the Azuma mountain range, offers stunning volcanic scenery with its two peaks, Nishi-Azumayama and Hitogataishi. A popular destination for hiking and snow trekking, visitors can access the mountain via a 35-minute bus ride from Inawashiro Station. In winter, enjoy snow trekking through the juhyo (ice-covered trees) near the Grandeco Snow Resort. In summer, the mountain is adorned with blooming flowers. Be sure to check weather conditions before visiting, as the route can be difficult to navigate in poor visibility.
