1.Mount Tenpō | ||||||
Mount Tenpō (天保山, Tenpōzan) located in Minato-ku, Osaka is currently Japan's second lowest mountain. (The lowest mountain title is now held by Mount Hiyori in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture - like Mount Tempo, Hiyori is a man-made structure, and gained its title as the shortest mountain following subsidence after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.) The definition of a "mountain" used here is any elevation described as a mountain on a topographic map published by the Geographical Survey Institute of Japan, though it is disputed that the mountain lacks credibility because it is not a natural part of the landscape. The mountain's peak is 4.53 meters above sea level, and will bear more resemblance to a hill than a mountain to the casual observer. A small port is located nearby, and much of the mountain's surface has been converted into a park. | ||||||
