Description
Mount Roppyaku is a summit in the Japanese Alps near Matsumoto that rises to 2,470 meters (8,100 feet) above sea level. The terrain features steep slopes and narrow paths that wind through rugged mountainous landscape.
History
The mountain region remained largely unexplored until the 1930s when improved transportation to Kamikochi opened access to surrounding peaks. This development significantly increased visitor activity in the alpine area.

Practical
Check weather conditions and trail status regularly before and during your visit, as sudden changes can make paths dangerous especially after rainfall. Prepare with proper gear and give yourself enough time to navigate the terrain safely.
