This mountain is a beautiful cone, which is world-famous and a sacred symbol of Japan.

In order to reduce the pressure of snow in cold winter, residents increased the inclination of the roof and built a unique double-decker thatched cottage with a steep slope. Because the shape of the roof is very similar to the Japanese people's hands folded when they worship God, it is called "folded palm house" or "triangular house". )
