Osore-zan (Tohoku)

Osorezan consists of eight peaks, including Kamabuse, Ozukushi and Kozukushi, and is considered one of the three most sacred mountains in Japan, along with Koya and Hiei. According to legend, the spirits of the dead remain here. The area is designated as Shimokita Peninsula National Park. Its mysterious and dreary landscape has been the setting of many films and novels. Situated in a volcanic zone, the neighboring area is famous also as a hot-spring resort. In 862, venerable Ennin opened the mountain in response to a revelation in his dream. Because he enshrined Jizo (guardian Boddhisatva of children) for worship, Jizo worship remains the foundation of the mountain even now. There are many highlights, including Chinoike Jigoku (blood pool hell) with a sulfur smell, Sai no Kawara (bed of the river flowing between life and death) and magnificent Usoriyama Lake with Gokurakuhama (paradise beach).
