Mt. Fuji has its winter cap on again. And in other news, the first article I’ve ever written entirely in Japanese has been published in Gakujin, a famous outdoors magazine over here. Hopefully my scribblings are somewhat legible.... 12月号の山岳雑誌[岳人]に僕の書いた山のエッセイが掲載されました。是非読んでみて下さい！ #japan #mtfuji #fujisan #kawaguchiko #lakekawaguchiko #mountains #hyakkeime #yamap55 #outdoorslife #hiking #trekking #japanlover #montbell #富士山 #日本 #河口湖 #山 #登山 #冬山 #岳人 #ハイキング #トレッキング #山が好きな人と繋がりたい #山が好き

One of the best things about climbing up high is being above the clouds. 雲の上の世界だ。 #japan #nagano #japanalps #yatsugatake #mountains #cloudscapes #hiking #climbingmountains #yamap55 #ig_japan #olympusomdem10 #journeythroughjapan #japantravels #日本 #南アルプス #八ヶ岳 #日本アルプス #ハイキング #山 #登山 #山登り #雲海 #長野県 #山が好き

One of the most enjoyable stretches of ridgeline in the entire Japan Alps if you like scrambling. The Hachimine-kiretto links Mt. Goryu (2814m) and Mt. Kashimayari (2889m), the twin peaks of the latter visible in the distance. As a nice little treat, the small col between its two peaks holds a long-lasting snow patch too. 大町市から見ても五竜岳から見ても鹿島槍の山容は綺麗ですね。 #japan #nagano #hakuba #alps #kashimayari #mountains #yamap55 #journeythroughjapan #japantravel #summits #japanlandscape #hiking_daily #日本 #長野 #白馬 #鹿島槍ヶ岳 #五竜岳 #北アルプス #山 #登山 #八峰キレット #山が好き

Nice spot for a hut, nestled on the edge of a cirque at around 3000m, with views of Mt. Kai-Koma-ga-take across the valley (2967m). 仙丈小屋はとてもいいところに建てる。ここもいつか泊まりたい！ #japan #minamialps #kaikomagatake #senjogatake #mountains #hyakkeime #yamap55 #journeythroughjapan #natgeoadventure #bbctravel #hikingaddict #japanalps #olympuspen #日本 #南アルプス #甲斐駒ヶ岳 #仙丈ヶ岳 #北沢峠 #百名山 #山 #登山 #山登り #山が好きな人と繋がりたい

Sometimes it’s worth getting up at 3am to start your climb. Sunrise in the South Japan Alps. たまには朝早くおきて山を登るのは価値がある。 #japan #japanalps #kaikomagatake #senjogatake #mountains #yamap55 #hyakkeime #ourlonelyplanet #ig_japan #journeythroughjapan #seejapan #日本 #南アルプス #甲斐駒ヶ岳 #仙丈ヶ岳 #山 #登山 #ハイキング #あさひ #山が好き

Of all the huts in the North Japan Alps, Kiretto-goya occupies one of the most extreme positions, situated on the narrow ridge just north of Mt. Kashimayari (2889m). Only accessible by scrambling and with huge vertigo-inducing drops on either side, it probably doesn’t get many causal visitors. キレット小屋はすごいところに建ってるから、いつか泊まりたい。 #japan #kashimayari #hakuba #nagano #japanalps #mountains #hiking #natgeoadventure #journeythroughjapan #visitjapanjp #hyakkeime #yamap55 #日本 #北アルプス #鹿島槍ヶ岳 #鹿島槍 #キレット #山 #登山 #山登り #山が好き

Layers of mountains. Despite being located deep in the South Alps, Mt. Kita-dake (3193m) is possible as a one-day hike, although it requires a very early start and good levels of fitness. 富士山までの連なり。 #japan #mtfuji #fujisan #mtfujijapan #yamanashi #japanalps #minamialps #mountains #journeythroughjapan #bbctravel #natgeoadventure #hyakkeime #yamap55 #mountains #trekkinglovers #hikingaddict #日本 #富士山 #北岳 #南アルプス #ハイキング #山 #登山 #山が好き #百名山

Early morning tent views in the South Japan Alps. テントから見た朝の富士山。 #japan #japanalps #kitadake #hiking #mountains #hyakkeime #yamap55 #guardiantravelsnaps #ig_japan #instajapan #mtfuji #fujisan #journeythroughjapan #bestjapanpics #日本 #北岳 #南アルプス #山梨県 #山 #富士山 #ハイキング #登山 #山が好きな人と繋がりたい

August 11th in Japan is ‘mountain day’, a national holiday celebrating..... well, I’m sure you can guess. 山の日だけど、今日は山に行ってない。 #japan #mtfuji #mtfujijapan #fujisan #mountains #mountainday #japanalps #hiking #climbingmountains #olympus #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #yamap55 #bestjapanpics_ #ig_japan #instajapan #japanrevealed #japan_of_insta #amazingjapan #日本 #富士山 #山の日 #山 #ハイキング #登山 #お盆 #旅行大好き #山が好き #南アルプス #北岳

It can be quite difficult to get decent photos of Mt. Kita-dake (3193m), mainly because of the weather and the geography of the area, but it always looks good from this angle. この角度から見る北岳は一番カッコいいかな。 #japan #kitadake #yamanashi #japanalps #ig_japan #mountains #summit #hiking #trekking #japantravel #hyakkeime #yamap55 #outsidemagazine #japan2019 #北岳 #日本 #南アルプス #山 #登山 #百名山 #夏山 #ハイキング #山が好きな人と繋がりたい #北岳山荘
