context_page_description: Mount Mikuni is the name of three mountains in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. One of the mountains is on the border of Gifu and Aichi prefectures. Another mountain is on the border of Gifu and Nagano prefectures. The third mountain is located on the border of all three prefectures. All three mountains are included in this article.
context_section_description: The Mount Mikuni separating the three prefectures is located in Gifu's Ena; Nagano's Neba, Shimoina District; and Aichi's Toyota. It is 1,162 m (3,812 ft) in height and received its name because it was located on the border of the former provinces of Mino, Shinano and Mikawa.
  The Aichi Prefecture side of the mountain is home to Nagoya Kōchin (名古屋コーチン), a regional breed of chicken. There is also a dirt track for car racing on the mountain. During the Miocene Epoch, the mountain was an active volcano and caused the "turtle shell stones" (亀甲岩 kikkōiwa), which are a natural treasure of the village of Neba.
