昨日のお滝はいままで数年で見た なかでも一番と言っていいくらい 本当に素晴らしい滝で とても印象的でした。 新滝、清滝ともに 龍が暴れまくっていて 見た目も壮大で美しい。 欲しい時に水がどんどん 落ちてくるから 時々ニヤニヤしながら 神様と戯れていました。 滝の中でも大きな龍が はっきりと見えたり。 たまたま居合わせたNHK長野の方に撮影&取材されました。 ローカルで流れるのかしら。 #御嶽山 #清滝 #新滝 #ontakesan #kiyotaki #shintaki #shugendo #yamabushi #山と法螺貝 #nature #修験道 #naturephotography #takigyo #waterfall (御嶽山) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDtmrC1pOHd/?igshid=147ha6scqs54k

Fujisan on a chilled morning. In Japanese we use the kanji letter 山 (mountain) and we pronounce it either as "san/zan" or "yama". Do you know that there is a difference when reading the name of the mountain? Mountains that are a symbol of faith ( sacred mountain) like Mt. Fuji use "san" (Fujisan, Hakusan, Ontakesan) and those that are not use "yama"　like Mt. Kurohime (黒姫山)　Kurohimeyama. #japan #fujisan #visitjapanjp #UnknownJapan #今日の富士山 #mtfuji https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs5MSEwHdJI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c93ypn2uu4su

The second stage of my Japan Alps Traverse covered the Chuo Alps (中アルプス) – aka the Central Alps. Our trek through the Chuo Alps Lasted only about 24 hours as this is the shortest of the three ranges comprising the Japanese Alps. We entered the Chuo Alps via the Fukushima A Course (福島Aコース) in the north and exited via the trail heading east from the summit of Utsugidake (空木岳) past Komahohuytte.

Luckily, the weather was fairly good for our time in the Chuo Alps as we only had the one day of hiking to see them. In the middle of the Chuo Alps, the Kisokomagatake Ropeway (駒ケ岳ロープウェー) brings hikers up the eastern slopes and the area between Kisokomagatake (駒ケ岳) and Hokendake (宝剣岳) can become extremely crowded (there are a total of five mountain huts in the span of something like 1.25 mi / 2 km. South of Hokendake (宝剣岳) the trails are relatively free of people and it’s not until reaching Kisotonosanso at Kisodonokoshi that you can really expect to see any more hikers.

If you only have a short time to hike in Japan, a traverse of the Chuo Alps would be an excellent choice. There are trails heading further south through the Chuo Alps that we did not explore on our traverse, but that I would love to investigate in the future as we missed a few peaks by not heading down these (very unused) trails.

The photos in this post are in order of north to south and the peaks covered in this section are listed at the bottom of this post. If you’re interested in the daily itinerary for this route, you can find it here.

Our entry into the Chuo Alps was the first time (and one of the only times) we encountered switchbacks.

We didn’t see any animals in the Chuo Alps 😦

Inside an unstaffed shelter below the summit of Mugikusadake.

Looking west toward Tamanokubogoya (which was under renovation) and Kisomaedake.

The view looking west toward Ontakesan (Mount Ontake) – where we exited the Kita Alps.

Looking west toward Kisogoya and Ontakesan.

I don’t know why, but I always like going under rocks. Maybe I should get into caving.

It’s not as scary matching written Japanese on your map to Japanese on the signs as you may think (just make sure the match is exact).

Halfway through the Chuo Alps there’s a ropeway on the eastern side – this is the result (yes, those are all people).

We took the high route south of Nakadake.

You need to climb up to this spot to find this sigh (worth it).

Saying goodbye to the views as the clouds roll in.

Looking south toward Utsugidake.

Looking back north – up and down the entire way.

Classic Japan mountain pose.

Can you spot the trail?

This spot really reminds me of a place I was at in Tasmania’s Western Arthurs.

The bush in the Chuo Alps is a lot thicker than the Kita Alps since they aren’t quite as high (at least that’s my guess).

At this point in the day most Japanese hikers would have stopped at their huts – the “recommended” time is 15:00.

Oh, how I missed you, clouds.

The lonely (and unstaffed) Hinokiohinangoya.

A look down the southernmost bit of the Chuo Alps (we exited to the east before hitting the ridge in the background).

There are very few suitable camping spots along the ridgeline. This is one.

Straight up the spine we go.

Descending to Kisotonosanso at Kisodonokoshi.

Heading down the ridge to Komahohyutte.

The last shelter we passed in the Chuo Alps – we camped outside.

There are a few spots where hands are required.

INFRASTRUCTURE!

There are some fairly nice trails leading in and out of the mountains.

【御嶽山×因果×成長】 剣ヶ峰から二の池へ降りると砂浜のような不思議な地形になります。 水が豊富な二の池はまだ見たことがない。 なぜなら初めて御嶽山に登拝した翌月に噴火したから。 その年から私の修行が始まり、もうすぐひとまわりの９年。 何の因果か初めて訪れてから暫くはお山へあがれなかった。 改めて考えるとこれも不思議な因果。 自分の行が上がっていくにつれて御嶽と徐々に繋がり、より体感していく様は お山と共にあるという何よりの証かも🙏 [2022.08.07 御嶽山] #御嶽山 #法螺貝 #修験道 #龍神 #神仏習合 #登拝 #ontakesan #mountains #naturephotography #nature #lake #祓い清め #六根清浄 #神道 #仏教 #神様 (御嶽山 二の池ヒュッテ) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chg_kcEJWPG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My traverse of the Japanese Alps began at the eastern edge of Toyama Bay (富山湾) in Niigata Prefecture (新潟県). From the coast, my hiking party of two Kiwis and I headed up the northernmost ridgeline in the Kita Alps (北アルプス) – aka the Northern Alps. The trip began with nearly a week of nonstop rain as we traversed – it wasn’t until day four that we saw another person and it wasn’t until day five that we actually saw another hiker on the trail (the people we saw on day four were employees at a mountain hut we camped at).

The Northern Alps stretch from where we began, at the Tsugami Shindo Trailhead, to Ontakesan (御嶽山), or Mount Ontake, in the south. The Kita Alps are the longest of the three ranges comprising the Japanese Alps (the Kita (Northern), Chuo (Central), and Minami (Southern)) and this stretch took the first half of the hike – seventeen days (this includes a trip in and out of Toyama (富山市) via train from Tateyama (立山) for a resupply).

The photos in this post are in order of north to south and the peaks covered in this section are listed at the bottom of this post. If you’re interested in the daily itinerary for this route, you can find it here.

After three days of rain, we decided to hike out into the storm.

We didn’t see anyone for the first four days of hiking (not very popular up here).

There were a few minor traverses in the beginning where some spikes definitely would have helped.

A raicho (aka thunderbird) – one of the few animals we saw on the traverse.

One of the first good views we got on the entire hike (once the storm we began in finally broke).

Not all of the alps are green and lush.

These huts may be perched on ridgelines, but they are serious structures.

The late-afternoon clouds always did their best to greet us.

We were forced to pay to stay here (Kirettogoya) because the weather turned and there was literally nowhere for us to set up camp – the hut took the good spot.

Can you spot the hut?

Noodles – something you can find at most of the huts (sometimes hot water costs extra).

What your sleeping situation will look like should you decide to stay in a hut.

You’ll find these chains everywhere in the Kita Alps (I don’t trust them).

Honestly, I might end up doing something like this again.

Generally, the trails aren’t too overgrows, but we found a couple sections that were ungodly.

When I say that this entire hike is basically a ridgewalk, I’m not exaggerating.

Once you’re above the treeline, you don’t really go back down until you leave the mountains.

Testing out the Dyneema Djedi Dome from LOCUS GEAR.

In the case of a storm, you can’t just bail off the side – the mountains here are steep.

A rare boardwalked section of trail.

Heading down to Kurobe Lake from Harinokigoya was basically hiking down a river.

The only time we ever hiked along a river (I guess it’s hard when you’re ridgewalking most of the time).

Luckily, this river crossing on our way to Kurobe Lake wasn’t too flooded.

Crossing the bridge just before reaching the Kurobe Dam on the western side of the lake.

The Kurobe Dam – home to lots of tourists and, more importantly, food.

Tateyama is a huge tourist area and there are restaurants, lodges, stores, and this big stone sign.

Sunset at the Tateyama campground.

The largest snowfield we encountered – south of Tateyama.

Don’t forget, these mountains are filled with terribly annoying insects and the terrifying giant Japanese hornet.

For a not-that-wide island, there sure are a lot of mountains here.

If you see a peak in the distance, chances are you’re going over it.

Official campgrounds aren’t too common and the more accessible ones look like this.

Thomas, looking longingly at Yarigatake from the west – our goal for the day.

Walking the ridgeline to Yarigatake from Sugorokudake.

A look at how crowded the more popular peaks can get (we arrived here on a holiday – big mistake).

Looking back at Yarigatake from the south.

The ridges are endless.

The sun comes up early in the summer (like 5:00), and an early start is highly recommended. Just look at those faces.

This hut, just north of the Daikeretto (Big Cut) has camping (and noodles…and soda…).

A look at the Daikeretto (or “Big Cut” between Yarigatake and Kitahodaka.

The incredibly steep traverse from Okuhodaka to Nishihodaka.

Jandarumu (ジャンダルム) is one of the most awesome spots on the traverse.

One of my favorite bits of hiking in the world right here.

The front desk of a hut in the Kita Alps.

Climbing up to the summit of Yakedake from the north (can you see the hut in the valley on the right?).

The crater of Yakedake – an active volcano.

Walking the road after descending the southern side of Yakedake.

Approaching Norikuradake from the north (photo taken looking north).

These things drove me absolutely mad. Kill them.

One of the worst sections of trail we encountered – neading up the north side of Ontakesan.

The summit of Ontakesan – a volcano that erupted unexpectedly in 2014 and killed a bunch of hikers.
