[Miyagi Prefecture] Spectacular autumn foliage at Mount Kurikoma, known as the "Carpet of the Gods"

Mount Kurikoma straddles the three prefectures of Miyagi, Akita, and Iwate. It is a beautiful mountain with an altitude of 1,626 m, also known as the "Carpet of Gods". Personally, I think the autumn foliage of Mount Kurikoma is the most beautiful in Japan. The altitude of "Iwakagami-daira", where the parking lot and bus stop are located, is 1113 m. It is about 3 km one way to the summit, and it is a continuous climb, but it is a mountain suitable for beginners, as it is used by couples with babies and as a walking course for dogs. However, the weather is prone to change, so light mountain climbing equipment is necessary. The peak is in early October, and the parking lot will be extremely crowded at that time, so it is recommended to arrive early in the morning. photo on Oct 5, 2020⁠ The fall foliage of Kurikoma-yama mountain with 1626 m high, lies on the border between Miyagi, Akita and Iwate prefectures, Japan. is also known as "The carpet of Gods" because of the super beauty of its fall foliage.
