Early morning light at one of Kansai’s popular autumn spots, Soni Kogen in Nara Prefecture. The vast swathes of pampas grass growing here is a fairly rare sight in this part of Japan, and it was originally grown for use as a building material on traditional Japanese houses. やっぱり今の季節の曽爾高原は一番綺麗だ。 #japan #sonikogen #nara #kansai #hiking #autumn #mountains #outdoors #olympus #hyakkeime #guardiantravelsnaps #bbctravel #discoverjapan #japantravel #landscape #getoutdoors #日本 #奈良 #曽爾高原 #ススキ #ハイキング #山 #登山 #秋 #カメラ #旅行 #綺麗

Autumn in the North Japan Alps. While much of the main island of Honshu is still green, the higher peaks are now firmly in the grips of autumn, with winter not far off. 秋の北アルプス。最高。 #japan #alps #autumn #tateyama #tateyamakurobealpineroute #ig_japan #instajapan #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #natgeo #hiking #mountains #hyakkeime #olympus #japantravel #outdoor #日本 #富山 #北アルプス #立山 #秋 #紅葉 #山 #登山 #ハイキング #キャンプ #カメラ #旅行

Alpine meadow, Japanese-style. 北アルプスのお花畑。 #japan #alps #kamikochi #nagano #gifu #mountains #ig_japan #instajapan #bbctravel #hiking #trekking #explorejapan #alpine #olympus #travelguide #日本 #長野 #岐阜 #北アルプス #ハイキング #山 #登山 #秋 #花 #旅行

The Kurosawa trail on Mt. Ontake, a huge 3000m volcano which suddenly erupted almost exactly 4 years ago killing over 60 people, was fully reopened on Wednesday, so it is possible to climb to the summit again. 水曜日から四年ぶりに御嶽山の頂上まで登れるようになった。 #japan #ontake #gifu #nagano #mountains #hiking #climbing #ig_japan #instajapan #japantravel #volcano #guardiantravelsnaps #natgeo #hyakkeime #日本 #御嶽山 #長野 #岐阜 #山 #登山 #ハイキング #百名山 #旅行 #カメラ

I’m sure I say it every year, but I absolutely love seeing, touching and walking on snow in the summer (and beyond that into autumn too). 夏と秋に雪を見たら何か凄く幸せな感じだ。 #japan #murodo #tateyama #ig_japan #discoverjapan #hiking #mountains #outdoors #instajapan #guardiantravelsnaps #alps #olympus #hyakkeime #hakuba #trekking #日本 #北アルプス #山 #登山 #ハイキング #立山 #カメラ #三連休 #アウトドア

If you plan on doing any walking or trekking in the Japan Alps, be prepared for undulating, up-and-down terrain. A lot of it. 日本アルプスってアップダウンが結構多いかな。 #japan #alps#northalps #outdoors #mountains #hiking #trekking #ig_japan #hyakkeime #trailmagazine #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #natgeo #discoverjapan #日本 #北アルプス #長野 #鷲羽岳 #百名山 #山 #登山 #ハイキング #旅行 #カメラ

Mt. Ryuo-dake (2872m), a handsome little peak just south of Tateyama on the way to Goshiki-ga-hara. 立山の南の方にある龍王岳は何かカッコいい。 #japan #tateyama #alps #toyama #hyakkeime #instajapan #ig_japan #guardiantravelsnaps #hiking #outdoors #hikingadventures #japantrip #mountains #landscape #montbell #日本 #北アルプス #富山 #立山 #ハイキング #登山 #山 #旅行 #アウトドア

Typical Japanese manners and service tend to go out of the window when it comes to mountain huts, but most staff are friendly in my experience, including here at Yakushi-dake hut in the North Alps. 今回行った山小屋の中で、薬師岳山荘、スゴ乗越小屋、槍平小屋が特にフレンドリーな感じだった ^ ^ #japan #alps #tateyama #kamikochi #nagano #hiking #bbctravel #ig_japan #icu_japan #discoverjapan #guardiantravelsnaps #outdoors #hyakkeime #trekking #japanalps #日本 #北アルプス #薬師岳山荘 #スゴ乗越小屋 #槍平小屋 #槍ヶ岳 #薬師岳 #登山 #山 #ハイキング #旅行

A pleasant morning’s ramble along the ridge. North Alps, on the way to Mt. Yari-ga-take (3180m). 朝早くて誰もいない稜線が最高だ。 #japan #yarigatake #nagano #kamikochi #ig_japan #instajapan #guardiantravelsnaps #bbctravel #mountains #alps #hiking #outdoors #hyakkeime #explorejapan #travelersnotebook #日本 #槍ヶ岳 #北アルプス #山 #登山 #ハイキング #旅行 #カメラ #綺麗

Just a few of the very many shrines which are dotted from the foot of Mt. Haguro all the way up to the summit, this being one of the three sacred peaks of the Dewa Sanzan. The area is the centre of Shugendo, a blend of Buddhism and Shinto based on mountain worship, the practitioners of which performed endurance feats which make modern long-distance trail running events look like a walk in the park. Two monks even managed to start the process of mummifying their bodies while they were still alive, and these mummies can now be viewed in nearby Dainichibo and Churenji temples. 出羽三山は歴史が深くて凄く面白いところです。 #japan #dewasanzan #yamagata #ig_japan #yamagatagram #japangram #instajapan #hiking #mountains #outdoors #travel #tohoku #olympus #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #natgeo #日本 #山形 #出羽三山 #山 #登山 #月山 #ハイキング #カメラ #旅行 #夏
