About Mount Mikami

Mount Mikami is a mountain. Location: Yasu-shi, Shiga Prefecture. Elevation: 432 m.

From Wikipedia

Mount Mikami (Japanese: 三上山, pronounced "Mikami Yama", meaning Mikami Mountain) is a mountain, 432 metres (1,417 ft) above sea level, located in Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. In spite of its relatively low altitude, it is also called "Ōmi Fuji", that is Mount Fuji of Ōmi Province, the old name of Shiga Prefecture, because of its conical shape standing out in the flat area on the shores of Lake Biwa. It is now part of Mikami-Tanakami-Shigaraki Prefectural Natural Park, established in 1969.
