Mount Roppyaku

Mount Roppyaku rises to an elevation of 2,470 meters, featuring steep slopes and narrow paths within the Japanese Alps mountain range.

The mountain region remained largely unexplored until the 1930s when a bus service to Kamikochi improved access to the surrounding peaks.

Local mountaineers have developed specific climbing techniques to navigate the mountain's challenging terrain, passing this knowledge through generations.

Hikers need to check weather conditions and trail status regularly, as sudden changes can make paths dangerous, particularly after rainfall.

The summit provides views of the entire Hotaka mountain range and serves as a connection point to the Tokugo Pass hiking network.
