Daikiretto

The Daikiretto cliff stretches between the peaks of the Northern Japanese Alps, forming a natural passageway through steep rock formations at 1000 meters elevation.

The cliff section became a designated climbing route during the 1920s when Japanese mountaineers established paths through the Northern Alps mountain range.

Local mountain guides pass their knowledge of safe passage techniques through generations, maintaining traditional climbing practices specific to this cliff section.

Climbers need specialized equipment including ropes and harnesses to traverse the cliff route, and access remains restricted during winter months due to snow accumulation.

The cliff path requires climbers to navigate a narrow ledge with drops of several hundred meters on both sides, creating one of Japan's most technical hiking passages.
