Overlooking the Seto Inland Sea from the summit, you can enjoy mountaineering and driving!

Mount Noro is where Kobo Daishi entered to practice his religious training, and has long been an object of worship as a sacred mountain. The view from the summit, 839 meters above sea level, boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in the Setonaikai National Park. The mountain is equipped with the Chugoku Nature Trail, hiking trails, and promenades, and is full of attractions such as an observation deck with views of the Seto Inland Sea and a sea of rocks densely packed with boulders and oddly shaped rocks. Cherry blossoms bloom all over the summit in April, azaleas in May, and hydrangeas in July, attracting many people who come to enjoy nature walks. There is also a campsite and lodge near the summit, so you can enjoy a variety of activities such as mountain climbing, hiking, driving, and camping.
