Mt. Hijiri - Hijiridake

A mountain on the border between Shizuoka and Nagano prefectures. It is 3,013 meters above sea level. It is in the southern part of the Akaishi Mountains (Southern Alps), and is known as the southernmost mountain in Japan that is over 3,000 meters above sea level. It is in the Southern Alps National Park, and the area west of the summit is a special protected area. In Nagano prefecture, it is called Nishizawayama because it is the source of Nishizawa, a tributary of the Toyama River. It has two peaks, east and west, and the eastern peak is also called Okuhijiri-dake (2,978 meters) and the western peak is also called Maehijiri-dake (3,013 meters). There are several ways to climb the mountain, including the route along Hijiri-sawa (Shizuoka side) and the route along the ridge from Nishizawado (Nagano side). The standard itinerary requires three nights and four days.
