Mount Ōhara

Mount Ōhara [尬彭山おおはら・さん] is a dormant volcano located in the Ōzata Mountains in western Tomono Prefecture. It stands at 1,910 metres, making it the second-largest peak in the prefecture after Mount Tohara. It is considered to be dormant, its last eruption having been recorded in 765 AD. Mount Ōhara, along with Mount Tohara and Mount Shū, is one of the 'Three Peaks of Tomono' (留笹の三山), and the cold north winds which blow down from it are known as kinekaze ('needle winds') for their sharp, dry quality.
