Mt. Tairappyo
平標山・平標登山口
One of Japan's top 100 mountains for wildflowers, the peak is located at the west end of the Tanigawa range. Featuring a cornucopia of alpine plants, the fields of flowers around the summit are a wonder to behold. If you have the energy, the return hike from the summit to Mt. Sennokura (2 hours) is also highly recommended.
