Known as one of the eight picturesque sights of Lake Biwa, it provides a panoramic view of Okubiwako, Chikubu Island to the south-west, Mt Ibuki to the east, and Lake Yogo to the north. The old battlefield, where Katsuie Shibata and Hideyoshi Hashiba fought for the hegemony, has a stone monument on the mountain to venerate the dead soldiers.
