    Tochigi Pref. Tochigishi Hiraichou
    "A small, 341-meter-high mountain. During the cherry blossom viewing season in spring, tea ceremony events are held here. On clear days, visitors to the top of the mountain can see all the way to Tokyo Skytree and the skyscrapers of Shinjuku. When fog covers the lowlands, the surrounding mountains peak above the mist like islands, leading to the area's nickname as the ""Matsushima of the land,"" an allusion to a city famous for its many islands. There's also a stone monument on the mountain dedicated to Yuzo Yamamoto's novel, ""A Stone by the Roadside."""
