Mt. Ibuki is the highest peak in Shiga Prefecture (altitude: approx. 1,377 m). It is one of the top one hundred mountains of Japan. You will find a large panorama with an unbroken view under your eyes from the summit up to Lake Biwa, Hira, the Hiei Mountains, the Japan Alps and Ise Bay. The alpine flower field at the summit is listed as a national natural monument. The temperature at the summit is 8 to 10 degrees lower than at the foot of the mountain.
