Gozaisho 御在所 (Mie Prefecture)

Gozaisho is a beautiful mountain tucked away in rural Mie, near the border of Aichi and Gifu. It has a collection of unqiue rock formations and is the starting point for some great hikes across the Suzuka Mountain range. For those who are too lazy to do the hike or are using it as a base to do something a bit longer, you can take the ropeway to the top. During winter, the peak turns into a mini ski field.
