Mount Zenzu

Mount Zenzu [善水山; ぜんず・さん] is a mountain located in western Inaki Prefecture. It is the second-largest in the Omiyama chain, a sacred trio of mountains which also includes Mount Genbi and Mount Wakae. It has a height of around 1,800 metres. Zenzuhara Temple stands near its summit.
Mount Zenzu is part of the second stretch of the Omiyama Pilgrimage which begins at the foot of Mount Wakae and concludes at Daishinji Temple at the summit of Mount Genbi. However for secular travellers, its summit is usually the conclusion of the Omiyama hike, as the journey can take 4-5 hours. Weather warnings are frequent and caution is issued to those who are hiking in foggy, windy or rainy conditions; in addition, certain parts of the trail are likely to become obstructed, damaged or difficult to follow during poor weather conditions.
Due to heavy winter snowfall, Mount Zenzu can be rendered inaccessible for long periods in winter, however skiing is possible on the mountain from late spring to mid-summer.
