Mount Niegata

Mount Niegata [又岭山 にえがた・さん] is a mountain located in the northern Yūmi Mountains in Heisai Prefecture. It has an estimated height of around 1,723 metres. Mount Niegata has traditionally been considered the 'twin' of its close neighbour Mount Tengata. The name of the peak, which means 'vanishing ridge', comes from the fact that Mount Niegata often disappears behind mist or clouds during the winter.
Mount Niegata is popular with skiiers, and three resorts have been built on its slopes.
