Located in the northwest of Yamanashi Prefecture, in the northern part of the Akaishi Mountains (Southern Alps), Kitadake is the second highest mountain in Japan after Mount Fuji. It belongs to Minami-Alps City. Its elevation is 3,193 meters. Together with Ainotake and Notori-dake, it is also called Shirane Sanzan or Mt. Shirane. It is made up of old rocks such as slate, phyllite, chert or sandstone, and diabase tuff. The majestic mountain's shape from Yashajin Pass, an observation deck in the Southern Alps, is exceptional. The rock wall on the eastern slope, which is about 600 meters high, is known to climbers as the "Kitadake Buttress," and the snowfields of Okaba-zawa and alpine plants such as Kitadake-sou are also famous. The most common route up the mountain is to take a bus from Kofu, cross the Yashajin Tunnel, go to Hirogawara, and then pass through Shirane Oike.

山梨県北西部、赤石山脈(あかいしさんみゃく)(南アルプス)北部にある富士山に次ぐ日本で第2位の高峰。南アルプス市に属する。標高3193メートル。間ノ岳(あいのたけ)、農鳥岳(のうとりだけ)とともに白根三山(しらねさんざん)あるいは白根山ともよばれる。粘板岩、千枚岩、チャートあるいは砂岩、輝緑凝灰岩などの古い岩石よりなる。南アルプスの展望台、夜叉神(やしゃじん)峠からの雄大な山容は格別である。東斜面の比高約600メートルの岩壁は「北岳バットレス」としてクライマーに知られ、大樺(おおかんば)沢の雪渓やキタダケソウなどの高山植物も著名。 登山路は、甲府からバスで夜叉神トンネルを越え広河原(ひろがわら)まで入り、白根御池(おいけ)経由が一般的である。 [吉村 稔] [参照項目] |赤石山脈にある、南アルプスの最高峰。標高3193mで、富士山に次ぐ日本第2位の高峰である。間ノ岳、農鳥岳とともに白根三山あるいは白根山ともよばれる。南アルプス国立公園の一部。写真は鳳凰三山の一山、観音岳付近からの眺望。山梨県南アルプス市©やまなし観光推進機構"> 北岳 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
