The path along the Nishikama ridge leads all the way to the pointy spire of Mt. Yari-ga-take (3180m), the fifth highest mountain in Japan. どこから見ても槍ヶ岳はすぐ分かる。 #japan #yarigatake #kamikochi #northalps #japanalps #japanesealps #naganoprefecture #guardiantravelsnaps #hiking #trekking #mountains #ridgeline #instajapan #visitjapan #hyakkeime #yamap55 #日本 #北アルプス #槍ヶ岳 #上高地 #長野県 #山 #登山 #山登り #ハイキング #山が好きな人と繋がりたい #カメラ好き #夏山

Yake-dake (2455m) is one of the most active volcanoes in the Japan Alps, but don’t let that put you off as it’s probably the best one day hike from Kamikochi, the small alpine resort and gateway to the mountains. Allow about 6hrs to the summit and back. 大正池から見たら焼岳は間違いなく火山って感じですね。 #japan #kamikochi #japanalps #yakedake #nagano #japanesealps #northalps #alpsmountains #hiking #trekking #mountains #ig_japan #japan_photo #outdoorlovers #guardiantravelsnaps #volcano #natgeoadventure #日本 #焼岳 #上高地 #登山 #百名山 #山 #夏山 #長野県 #岐阜県 #ハイキング #山が好き #カメラ好き #自然が好き

Most people climb Mt. Fuji to see the sunrise, but sunsets look pretty good too. The official climbing season starts on July 1st for the popular Yoshida trail, while the other trails officially open on July 10th. However following a landslide just below the summit, walkers on the Yoshida and Subashiri trails will not be able to climb any higher than the 8.5 station (at 3450m) until further notice. 富士山の山頂から見る日の出は有名だけど、日の入りも綺麗ですね。 #japan #mtfuji #mtfujijapan #yamanashi #mtfuji_fpn #mountfuji #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #climbingmountains #hyakkeime #yamap55 #mountainside #traveljapan #sunset_hunter #instajapan #ig_japan #日本 #富士山 #山 #登山 #山登り #百名山 #カメラ好き #ハイキング #山が好きな人と繋がりたい

An overcast early morning at Taisho-ike, the famous ‘pond’ within walking distance of Kamikochi in the North Alps. Seems too big to be a pond and more like a lake to me, although lakes are measured by depth rather than size apparently. Just need a big stick.... 天気が曇りでも大正池は綺麗に見える。 #japan #alps #nagano #kamikochi #northalps #takayama #matsumoto #hiking #mountains #trekking #naturelovers #hyakkeime #yamap55 #bbctravel #natgeo #instajapan #ig_japan #japantravelphoto #guardiantravelsnaps #explorejpn #landscapephoto #日本 #上高地 #北アルプス #山 #登山 #長野 #カメラ好き #ハイキング #自然が好き

The Daisekkei or ‘great snow valley’ on Mt. Shirouma (2932m) is a year-round snow field that takes about 90 minutes to climb. Hikers should watch out for crevasses and rockfall, although the best route is always clearly marked. 白馬と白馬岳の字が一緒だけど、読み方が違うよね。日本語は難しい。。。 #japan #alps #hakuba #shiroumadake #mountains #japanalps #hiking #hyakkeime #climbingmountains #yamap55 #trekkingdiaries #ig_japan #japantravelphoto #snow #日本 #北アルプス #白馬岳 #白馬村 #大雪渓 #長野県 #山 #登山 #ハイキング #夏山 #百名山

A classic view of one of the classic routes in the North Alps of Japan, the Yari-Hotaka ridgeline. Best attempted after rainy season though! 蝶ヶ岳から槍~穂高パノラマショット(穂高岳見えないけど！)。 #japan #alps #northalps #yarigatake #kamikochi #kurobedam #instajp #outdoormagazine #mountains #hiking #trekking #climbing #hyakkeime #yamap55 #olympus_pen #travelinjapan #日本 #北アルプス #蝶ヶ岳 #槍ヶ岳 #穂高岳 #上高地 #山 #登山 #ハイキング #山が好きな人と繋がりたい #カメラが好き

Fuji this summer! 今月中旬から僕が書いた’Hiking and Trekking in the Japan Alps and Mount Fuji’というガイドブックがAmazon.jpから発売されます。本屋さんなどはすでに発売されています！ #japan #alps #guidebook #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #traveljapan #hiking #trekking #mountains #outdoors #newbooks #hyakkeime #yamap55 #outdoormagazine #mtfuji #fujisan #natgeomagazine #日本 #山 #登山 #北アルプス #南アルプス #富士山 #山が好きな人と繋がりたい

Taking a break on the slopes of Mt. Kinpu (2599m), the second highest and one of the most popular peaks of the Okuchichibu Mountains, located on the border of Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures. 金峰山から瑞牆山はカッコよく見える。 #japan #mountains #mizugaki #hiking #yamap55 #hyakkeime #mountaineering #instajapan #landscape_capture #guardiantravelsnaps #natgeo #bbctravel #climbingmountains #日本 #山梨 #金峰山 #瑞牆山 #山 #登山 #ハイキング #百名山 #山が好きな人と繋がりたい

View of Mt. Mizugaki (2230m) from Dainichi-iwa, a rocky outcrop about halfway up Mt. Kinpu. Mizugaki is a distinctive little mountain in the Chichibu Tama Kai National Park in Yamanashi Prefecture. It’s an easy and fun, scrambly climb all the way up to the granite rock towers that form the summit. 大日岩から瑞牆山がきれいに見える。瑞牆山は登りも下りも凄く楽しかった！ #japan #yamanashi #mizugaki #kinpusan #chichibu #mtfuji #mountains #hiking #climbing #guardiantravelsnaps #bbctravel #natgeoadventure #igjapan #ig_japan #instajapan #summit #olympuspen #hyakkeime #yamap55 #瑞牆山 #金峰山 #山梨 #山梨県 #百名山 #山 #ハイキング #登山 #山登り #山が好き

Mt. Ryozen (1084m) offers green rolling hills, views of Lake Biwa and forests full of frogs, deer and a few bears. 関西でこのような景色はちょっとユニークだね。 #japan #shiga #kansai #mountains #hiking #olympus #landscape_lover #hyakkeime #yamap55 #igjapan #ig_japangram #outdoorsy #osaka #kyoto #nagoya #japantravel #日本 #滋賀 #滋賀県 #霊仙山 #鈴鹿山脈 #山 #登山 #山登り #ハイキング #アウトドア #琵琶湖 #カメラ好き #山が好きな人と繋がりたい
