Mount Nishihotaka, Mountain summit in Matsumoto, Japan
Mount Nishihotaka reaches an elevation of 2,909 meters and features exposed rock formations along its ridgeline connecting to the Yakedake volcano.
The first recorded climb of Mount Nishihotaka occurred in 1906 by mountaineer Gunji Abe, marking the beginning of organized expeditions in this area.
The mountain forms part of the Northern Japanese Alps and belongs to the collection of notable peaks within the Chubu-Sangaku National Park.
The Shinhotaka Ropeway provides access to Nishiho Mountain Hut, which remains the single year-round accommodation facility in the Northern Alps.
The mountain presents two distinct experiences: an accessible trek to Nishiho-Doppyo peak and a technical climb requiring advanced skills beyond that point.
