Mount Ena 恵那山 (Gifu Prefecture)
Mount Ena is located in the southern most end of the Central Japanese Alps. It is one of the '100 famous mountains' of Japan and is a holy place as it is the supposed birth place of Emperor Tensho.
Mount Ena is a relatively difficult hike and requires stamina. It is not technically difficult as there are no long up-hill sections or scrambling involved, but is challenging as it is a long hike. Also be warned that the summit of Mount Ena offers limited views, the views at the beginning of the hike are better than those from the summit.

Mount Hananashi 花無山 (Gifu Prefecture)
Mount Hananashi is totally non-descript mountain that is hardly worth making the trek out to whatsoever. There is no view at all and the hiking track is incredibly confusing. If for some unexplained reason you want to do this hike because you happen to be out in the sticks of Ena in Gifu Prefecture then be my guest.
