Mount Daisengen is the tallest mountain in the southern region of the peninsula. A gold mine was established on the mountain during the Edo period, and a group of 106 Japanese Christians were executed on the mountain by the Matsumae clan during the nationwide crackdown on Christianity. Several climbing routes exist.
