夷王山 / Mt. Ioh and the Iohzan Shrine on the top of Mt. Ioh

夷王山（位於上之國町）是標高159公尺的小山。但是從山頂上可以看到從上之國町的街區到日本海方向的奧尻島和大島，可以瞭望到整個海岸線。山頂上有個神社（夷王山神社）。雖然是小神社，但佇立在神社前的鳥居營造出獨特且莊嚴的氣氛。山頂周遭一帶有隨意生長約500種的野花野草，這裡也以蝦夷山杜鵑花的賞花景點而有名。

Mt. Ioh and the Iohzan Shrine on the top of Mt. Ioh (Kaminokuni Town) can give a visitor solemn feelings. Mt. Ioh is 159 meters high and contains the ruins of a castle which flourished there in the 15th and 16th centuries. The window into the past that the ruins provide will doubtless impress the observer. At the shrine, visitors can admire the panoramic view of the town, coastline and ocean, as well as Okushiri and Ohshima Islands. The shrine is quite small, but the gate which stands there makes for a unique sight. There are about 500 kinds of plants there, with the Ezoyama Tsutsuji (azalea only seen in Hokkaido) is particularly famous.
