July Adventures

7/17 (Sat) Kiri-ga-mine Highland Hike
Kiri-ga-mine (霧ヶ峰) is a highland just opposite the Yatsuga-dake range with rolling hills and a mostly open landscape. This hike is a 9km loop hike with just 500 meters of elevation gain, making it a very gentle but enjoyable hike with plenty of short ups and downs. We will spend some time hiking through alpine forest, but the majority will be in alpine meadows with the last of the summer flowers and the beginning of the fall Suzuki coming in. We will also pass over the highest point of Kuruma-yama allowing you to check off another of the 100 famous mountains.

7/22~25 (Thu~Sun) South Alps Peak Hunt - Hijiri to Warusawa Loop
There's a 4 day weekend and we are heading to the southern part of the South Alps for a true wilderness experience where all huts and transportation will be shut down again this year. We will be completely self sufficient hiking over a total of 7 peaks, 3 of which are on the 100 Famous Mountains list. This will be a real challenge but the scenery is some of the best most remote wilderness area in the country.

7/31 (Sat) Tateshina Loop Hike
Tateshina is one of the 100 famous mountains, but notoriously difficult to access by public transportation, so we are making it easy for you. This is a lower moderate level hike of 8 km with 700 meters of elevation gained. 95% of the route is a loop making it more interesting and it is known as the Heart Route because of the shape it makes on the GPS track. After this hike we will stop by a great hot spring in the forest with 6 different outdoor baths available.

August Adventures

8/7~8(Sat~Sun) Tekari Dake - Overnight Hike
This may be one of the most difficult to access of the 100 famous mountains on Honshu, and we've been looking to do this climb for years. We will be climbing on an out and back route from the Nagano side starting from the Kitaguchi-Dake trailhead. We will pass over 5 named peaks on this trip and spend the night camping next to the Tekari Hut near the summit. The route is 15km each way with nearly 1,600M of elevation gained and lost.

8/14 (Sat) Oze Shibutsu-san Loop Hike
Shibutsu-san is on the southwest end of the Oze National Park and access is not easy. We will meet up in Hanno Friday night and spend the night in our Hiker's B&B to see the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower and get an early start to get up to Oze where we will have to take a bus to get to the trailhead. The hike is a loop and starts off easy hiking into the Oze Marshland which will have plenty of wildflowers blooming. From there it's a strenuous climb straight up the mountain to the summit. The descent is not steep and we walk along a ridge to get back to our starting point losing elevation gradually.
