Calling all adventurers (or those who enjoy a scenic stroll)! Look no further than Benten Mountain, officially crowned Japan’s shortest natural mountain at a mighty 6.1 meters (20 feet) tall.

But don’t be fooled by its diminutive stature. Benten Mountain boasts a charm that transcends its height. The rocky peak, a testament to the forces of nature, is adorned with a surprising diversity of flora.

Delicate wax trees cling to the slopes, vibrant camellias paint the landscape with color, and a smattering of wildflowers adds a touch of whimsy. This unexpected botanical haven makes the climb even more delightful, offering a chance to commune with nature even on a miniature mountain.

Benten Mountain: Japan’s Shortest Mountain

Adding to Benten Mountain’s allure is the Itsukushima Shrine, a tranquil sanctuary dedicated to Benzaiten, the Japanese goddess of wisdom, music, and fortune. Atop the 6.1-meter peak, the shrine offers a moment of reflection amidst the stunning vistas of the surrounding countryside.

Benten Mountain isn’t just a quirky tourist attraction; it’s a vibrant community hub. Every year on June 1st, the mountain officially opens for the season with a festive “First Climb of the New Year” event. Climbers reaching the summit are rewarded with a special Proof of Scaling Certificate, a cherished memento of their unique conquest (available for a small fee).

Throughout the year, the mountain transforms into a stage for various events, from cherry blossom festivals that paint the landscape with a delicate pink hue to intimate wedding ceremonies held under the watchful gaze of the goddess Benzaiten.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Japan’s Shortest Mountain is its safety record. Unlike its towering counterparts, Benten boasts a perfect record – no accidents or missing person reports have ever been recorded. This makes it the ideal destination for families with young children or those seeking a relaxed and enjoyable climb.

So, the next time you’re in Tokushima, ditch the lofty ambitions of Everest and embrace the charm of Benten Mountain. It’s a testament to the fact that adventure comes in all sizes, and sometimes, the greatest challenges lie in the most unexpected places. After all, who can resist the bragging rights of conquering Japan’s shortest mountain?
