Mountain Attractions In Kanto

  • 1. Mt. Suribachi Iwo Jima
    Mount Suribachi is a 169 m high mountain at the southwest end of the island Iwo Jima in the northwest Pacific Ocean, under the administration of Ogasawara Subprefecture, Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. The mountain's name derives from its shape, resembling a suribachi or grinding bowl. It is also known as the Mount Pipe , since the sulfur gas and water vapor that rolls in from the summit, alongside the rest of the island, give the appearance of a smoking pipe when viewed from the sea. Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima was taken at the mountain's peak.
