The Sōdai is the highest and most extensive mountain range in the Tayichian Isles. stretching approximately TBD km (TBD mi) across the entire eastern seaboard of Hashita, form Yamashū in Nanpogasi to Horonobe in Miyagi. Mount Seito, its highest peak at 4,478 m is located in the central area of Nanpogasi province, in the southern section of the mountain range, while the Sōdai in their entirety have 78 peaks higher than 4,000m.

The mountains were formed over millions of years as the A and B tectonic plates (cough cough Hoos). This also resulted in marine sedimentary rock by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks, making the Sōdai rich in rock such as dolomite. The altitude and size of the range affect the climate of Hashita, causing drastic differences in temperature and precipitation between the lower western and higher eastern section of the island. The Sōdai is home to several endemic species of plants and animals as a result as well.

People living in the Sōdai regions, which is usually used to describe the Nanpogasi and Kitagasi provinces, but also to some extent the eastern coast of Miyagi, have developed a distinct cultural identity to the rest of the island. The mountains are still home to some traditional practices such as alpine transhumance, cheesemaking and woodworking, while the region also became a hub for tourism, specifically winter tourism, over the last decades, with over 800 ski resorts dotted across the mountain range.
