Mount Kannabe / Kannabe Kogen

神鍋高原(神鍋山)

Hyogo · Kansai

A 469.5m dormant volcano and the newest volcanic landform in the Kansai region, with a walkable crater rim about 750m around and 40m deep, surrounded by a highland plateau used for skiing, paragliding and hiking.

Why we picked it

Ranked #1 in Hyogo's Scenic Landscape 100, but as a rural highland outdoor area it draws far fewer visitors than the region's castle and onsen anchors.
