Mt. Mocchomu, over 3 hours from the trail entrance at the Senpiro Waterfall Viewpoint, is located in the southern part of the island and can be seen from the villages of Hara and Onomaida. It is a very uniquely shaped mountain that has an exposed granite surface. Because of its appearance, Mt. Mocchomu, at a height of 940 meters, is called the Matterhorn of the East.
The mountain trail to Mt. Mocchomu is steep trail with exposed roots. It would be a hard hike.
