Located in Izumisano City, Mount Inunaki is known for its hot springs, as well as the Inunaki Shipporyuji Temple, the oldest Shugendo temple in Japan, founded by En no Gyoja about 1,300 years ago. Within the mountain, the "Twenty-Eight Stations within the Mountain" are maintained so that people can travel around the main training sites, waterfalls, rocks, halls, and shrines, allowing many people to come and practice. Mount Inunaki is also known as the "Women's Omine" and is famous as a training site where women can also practice. It is said that Mount Inunaki was named after a hunter who was being targeted by a giant snake in the mountains during the reign of Emperor Uda (887-897), whose beloved dog barked loudly and risked his life to protect his master. The grave of the famous dog Giken can be found on the road to Mount Inunaki Shipporyuji Temple. In addition, in the hot spring town along the mountain stream at the foot of Mt. Inunaki, you can soothe your mind and body in an open-air hot spring while experiencing the charms of each season: mountain cherry blossoms in spring, fireflies and river frogs (named after the frog's cry, which resembles that of a stag) in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and fluttering snow in winter.
