A few years ago, @Abroad in Japan taught us all about how Jesus actually died in Aomori Prefecture. Well, today I have another story of biblical proportions, the pyramids of Japan.
Yakushi-san (Mt. Yakushi, 薬師山 やくしさん) is a 437m (1433 ft.) peak in the Mogami region of Yamagata prefecture best climbed from July to October. Yakushi-san is a level 1 in terms of physical demand, which means it is easy to hike, has a A technical grade, which means it requires little expertise, and you want to allow at least 1 hour 20 for a hike.

I’m doing all I can to not be self-conceited. As a Yamabushi, I’m already part-way to becoming a Tengu it seems! Hope you enjoyed the video, and can find the pyramids of Japan for yourself!
Really interesting and informative video, i definitely learned something new. Good job! 🤍
