Mount Karamatsu, Mountain summit in Hakuba, Japan
Mount Karamatsu rises to an elevation of 2,696 meters as part of the Ushiro-tateyama peaks in the Northern Japanese Alps mountain range.
The mountain has served as a crucial navigation point for travelers crossing between Hakuba and Kurobe regions since ancient trading routes were established.
Local mountaineering clubs regularly organize guided expeditions to Mount Karamatsu, teaching traditional Japanese alpine climbing techniques to new generations.
Visitors can access the mountain using the Happo-One gondola and two quad lifts that reach 1,900 meters, reducing the hiking time to the summit by several hours.
The mountain features the Daisekkei, a permanent snow valley that requires crampons for climbing throughout the year, even during summer months.
