What is Sankoyama?
Mitsugoyama consists of the north peak, middle peak, and south peak, and is characterized by its appearance like a model of the kanji for mountain. When you look at Mt. Sanko from National Route 1, you can see three mountains lined up.
The elevation of the three peaks is in the order of South Peak, Middle Peak, and North Peak, with the highest North Peak being 568 meters above sea level.
Highlights and characteristics of Mt. Sanko
You can cross three peaks
Although it is the lowest of the 7 Kameyama peaks, Mt. Sanko's appeal is that you can climb three peaks in one climb.
The mountain climbing course from Suzuka Pass can be traversed in about an hour each way, and the mountain is well-maintained, making it easy for even beginner mountaineers to climb.
*Traversing means walking across mountains along ridge roads.
*Kameyama 7za: Mountains around 700 meters in height within KameyamaCity are certified.
A panoramic view of the Kameyama 7 mountains
From the southern peak trail, you can see Mt. Sengatake, Mt. Usukigatake, and Nonoboriyama, which are the 7 top Kameyama mountains.
The view can be seen within a 30-minute walk from the Suzuka Pass trailhead, so one of Mt. Mt. Mt.'s charms is that you can easily enjoy the view.
You can travel vertically to Shimogusayama
Shiosoyama, one of the 7 Kameyama peaks, and Mt. Mt. Mt. Miko are connected by a ridge road, and it takes about 70 minutes from the north peak of Mt. Mt. Shisoso to reach the summit of Mt. Shisoyama (north peak).
Along the way, there are ridges with narrow footholds and gravel spots, so you need to proceed with caution, but by traversing Mt. Shipogusa and Mt. Sanko, you can enjoy a rich variety of mountain climbing.

The course time is approximately 2 hours, with a 1 hour break time, making the climbing course approximately 3 hours in total.
Climbing course plan
We will start from the parking lot of Manninko Joyato, enter the trailhead for the north peak of Mt. Mt. Mt. Mt. at Suzuka Pass, and aim for the south, middle, and north peaks.

Many of the trails on Mt. Miko are well-maintained, and you can traverse three peaks in about an hour each way, so it is recommended for beginners.
- Precautions and tips for mountain climbing
- ① When climbing, give yourself plenty of time and choose a mountain that suits your experience and physical strength.
- ② Make a climbing plan in advance and submit a climbing report to the nearest police station or mountain climbing post by the day of the climb.
- ③ Make sure to check the weather information beforehand.
- ④ Prepare clothing that can handle sudden changes in temperature, including rain gear.
- ⑤ Bring water and portable food, take precautions against heat stroke, and take adequate breaks.
- ⑥ When climbing the mountain in winter, be sure to bring snowy mountain climbing equipment such as crampons. Even if there is no snow at the foot of the mountain, there may still be snow and ice near the top of the mountain.
Parking location
For this climbing course, we will use the parking lot at Manninko Joyato. The photo only shows part of the parking lot, but there is space for about 10 cars.
It's about an hour's walk each way from here to the top of the mountain, so it's best to relieve yourself at the public restroom near the parking lot.
Manninko Joyato is a Joyato that was built at Suzuka Pass about 270 years ago. It has now been relocated above the Suzuka Tunnel entrance and can be seen right near the parking lot.
How to get to the parking lot
By entering the Tokaido from the Suzuka Pass bypass on the Shiga Prefecture side, you can reach Manninko Joyato and the parking lot.
