Shiomidake, Shiomidake keywords: mountain related topics: Shizuoka Prefecture , South Alps related web sites: http://plaza.across.or.jp/~yamaguch/ , http://www.hikyaku.com/gallery/english/southa.htm explanation: Mt. Shiomi is located almost in the middle of South Alps and generally speaking ,the area toward the south from that peak is called "Southern South Alps" and toward the north, "Northern South Alps". According to a theory, the name of Shiomi has been given because the ocean may be seen from there. Nevertheless, it should be noted that there are many locality names related to the salt such as Shioyu and Shiokawa in its neighborhood, so the name could come from it. | |
