Mount Taba

Mount Taba [勇山; たばさん] is a mountain located in the Ikumo range in north Kanton. It is the largest mountain with the tallest peak, having a height of 1,350 metres. Historically, the mountain was used as a training ground for soldiers and warriors of the prefectural army, which is why its name translates to 'warrior mountain'. 
Mount Taba is easily accessible by hiking trail from Ōgi Pass, a road which leads up from the city of Futsukana. Nearby Mount Kumogi can also be reached by following the same trail directly, a journey which takes approximately 40 minutes.
Mount Taba is the source of the Kizō River, which flows north through Futsukana.
