About Mt. Mikuni
Mount Mikuni (三国山, Mikuni-yama) is the name of three mountains in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. One of the mountains is on the border of Gifu and Aichi prefectures. Another mountain is on the border of Gifu and Nagano prefectures. The third mountain is located on the border of all three prefectures. All three mountains are included in this article.
Gifu and Aichi
The Mount Mikuni separating Gifu and Aichi prefectures is located in Gifu's Toki and Aichi's Toyota. It is 701 m (2,300 ft) in height and received its name because it was located on the border of the former provinces of Mino, Owari and Mikawa.
A four-story observation deck, a prefectural park and camp grounds are located on top of the mountain. The park has an area of 15 km2 (6 mi2). There are no other tall mountains nearby, so many visitors come to the park at night because the observation deck offers a good view of the surrounding Nōbi Plain. The summit can be reached by car and is about 3 km (2 mi) from Route 363. A small road through the forest begins in the city of Toyota.
Aichi International Broadcasting Co. has antennas near the mountain peak. Other digital broadcasters also had antennas on the top of the mountain,...
