Mount Kanbara

Mount Kanbara [完彭山; かんばらさん] is a mountain located in the Motoyama Hills in northern Kanton. It is the smallest mountain in the range, with an elevation of 640 metres. 
Mount Kanbara, much like its neighbour Mount Motome, has long been viewed as a place of spiritual and religious significance. On the east foot of the mountain, Kanbara Temple has been in existence since the 10th century. The mountain and collection of small shrines near the summit were traditionally celebrated as national scenery and included in well-known artworks, such as the 17th century painting 'Spring Mist of Kanbara'. 
The walk up to the mountain temple is picturesque and the stairway itself has been in use for over 600 years, though repaired many times.
