Mount Ikeda (池田山,Ikeda-san, Ikeda-yama) is a mountain located in the towns ofIkeda andIbigawa, inIbi District,Gifu Prefecture,Japan.
The mountain is 923.9 m (3,031 ft) high and is in the center of theIbuki Mountains.Mount Ibuki, the namesake of the mountain range, lies to the east-northeast of Mount Ikeda. The mountain is protected as part of theIbi Sekigahara Yōrō National Park (揖斐関ヶ原養老国定公園).
Because there are no other mountains to block the view from the eastern side of Mount Ikeda, climbers can easily see the cities ofGifu andŌgaki in Gifu Prefecture, andIchinomiya and, if conditions are clear enough,Nagoya inAichi Prefecture. Because of the clear view, it is one of famed spots for night views in theTōkai region.
Also, because of the clear space and favorable winds on the eastern side, it is popular for many sky sports, such ashang gliding andparagliding.
