Ikumo Mountains

The Ikumo Mountains (阳儚山來; いくもさんこ) make up a mountain range which runs in a north-facing direction, overlapping three prefectures, and located in northern Kanton. The mountains are culturally significant to Kanton and have been depicted many times in historical artworks. The majority of the Ikumo range lies over --- Prefecture. 
The landscape of the Ikumo Mountains consists of rivers, streams, forests, mountains, valleys, and ridges. Like much of Kanton, the moist climate allows for lush vegetation which offers habitats for a variety of wildlife. 
The forestry is mixed and consisting of nearly half of the trees coniferous and the other half deciduous. Trees including cedar, oak, ash and pine are mainly seen in the lower altitudes near the valleys. Maple and beech are more common in the higher altitudes. Flowers can be found throughout the year, such as rhododendron.
The area is populated with deer, raccoon dogs, flying squirrels and mountain goats. There is also the Asiatic black bear which can be found throughout the mountains. 
In popular north Kanton folklore, it is said that the legendary warrior Yōfu disappeared into the peaks of the Ikumo Mountains once he learned the secret to immortality.
