Mount Seishū

Mount Seishū [济断山; せいしゅう・さん] is a dormant volcano located in northern Uchi Prefecture in the Anodari Hills. It is the largest mountain in the prefecture with a height of around 1,600 metres. It overlooks Lake Ansui and the city of Uara, and lies within the area of Uchizō National Park.
Because the area is protected as a national park, very few trails have been made on Mount Seishū. Though some existing paths are easy enough to hike up and down in one day, others can take two or three days because of the uncleared trails and rough terrain.
Mount Seishū is thought to have first been active 300,000 to 400,000 years ago, with the most recent eruption occurring in 1459. According to records, no other eruptions have ever taken place.
