Mount Kanai

Mount Kanai [笹以山; かない・さん] is a mountain located in the Aomaki Hills in Aoma Prefecture. It has an estimated elevation of around 980 metres. The mountain overlooks the capital city of Aoma, and like Mount Gango, its lowest foothills have been incorporated over time into the expanding urban landscape.
Hiking trails lead up to the summit of the mountain, and Mount Gango can be accessed by a large pass which crosses the small valley between the two peaks. A vistor's centre with a carpark lies at the base of the mountain, and also functions as a base-camp for the mountain. A variety of events are held here, such as the annual Mount Kanai Walk, a community-funded hiking walk which encourages school-children to explore nature.
