Mt. Sukawadake ( 1,628 m ) , which straddles three prefectures, is also known as Mt. Kurikomayama in other regions. On the mid-slope, there is Sukawa Kogen Hot Spring, which can only be approached from the Akita side at present. In summer, you will be greeted by various alpine plants, and in fall, you can enjoy the beautiful foliage. Climbing is easy and leisurely, taking only about 2 hours. Along the way, you will see a crater lake with emerald green water; the peak is about 1 hour away from the lake.
