Notes

  1. The highest point of Akita Prefecture is mountainside of Mount Chōkai at elevation 1,775m.
  2. Mount Atago is within the range of a sub base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, therefore it is the only highest peaks by prefecture that requires permission for entry.
  3. The summit of Mount Korenge collpased in June 2007 and the triangular point was lost. When a new triangular point was set up by the Geospatial Information Authority, the new elevation was measured to be 2,766m, or 3 metres lower than before.
  4. The highest point of Osaka Prefecture is mountainside of Mount Kongō at elevation 1,056m.
  5. In the past, Mount Gomadan was considered the highest peak, but a mountain about 700 metres east of that was found to be about 10 meters higher in November 2000. That mountain was named Mount Ryūjin by popular vote of the residents of Tanabe City.
  6. The elevation used here is that of Hon-Shaka on the border of Fukuoka and Ota Prefectures. The summit of the same mountain is Fugendake (1,231m) on the Ōita side.
