Mount Kabuto

Mount Kabuto (甲山, Kabuto-yama) is a mountain in Nishinomiya, Hyōgo, Japan.

It is located in the east end of the Rokko Mountains, and the height is 309.2m.

Mount Kabuto is a famous picnic spot in the Kansai metropolitan area.

It is a monadnock of an extinct volcano that was estimated to have last erupted about 12,000,000 years ago.

According to Japanese myth, it is understood that because Empress Jingū buried her helmet when she went to subjugate Silla, a dynasty in the Korean Peninsula, this mountain was named 'Kabutoyama', literally "helmet mountain."
