  • Mount Kita-dake (3,193 meters) is the main peak of the Southern Alps, Japan's second highest mountain after Mount Fuji. Its towering, triangular peak, awe-inspiring, and majestic form, is awe-inspiring. The unobstructed views from the summit offer a breathtaking view of the entire Japanese Alps, including Mount Fuji. The course begins at the trailhead at Hirogawara and climbs 1,700 meters in elevation over two days. On the first day, you'll stay overnight at Katabi Hut, located at an altitude of 3,000 meters. The next morning, you'll begin your ascent to the summit, followed by a descent to Hirogawara. While the trail is well-maintained, there are some steep, slippery climbs and steep rocky areas, so waterproof, high-top hiking shoes are essential. Participants will also need basic mountaineering equipment, including rain gear and a backpack, as well as some climbing experience.
