Mount Niseikaushuppe

Mount Niseikaushuppe rises 1,883 meters above sea level in the Ishikari Mountains, featuring twin peaks named Oo-yari and Ko-yari that create a distinctive silhouette.

The initial access route to Mount Niseikaushuppe originated from Kiyokawa district near the Ishikari River through a forest path that currently remains unused.

The mountain's name comes from Ainu language elements, translating to 'thing that sits above the gorge' in reference to its position near Sounkyo gorge.

The trailhead begins at Furukawa Forest Road at 1,100 meters elevation, offering parking space for fifteen vehicles and requiring a forestry service passcode for access.

During summer, the mountain slopes display meadows containing Aleutian mountainheath and Kamchatka globeflower, surrounded by Erman's birch trees.
