Mt. Hiuchi, Mountain summit in Niigata Prefecture, Japan
Mount Hiuchi reaches 2,462 meters in elevation and features deep snow conditions that support numerous alpine plants including the Siberian Dwarf Pine.
The mountain became part of Joshinetsu Kogen National Park in 1956 before being incorporated into the current Togakushi-Renzan National Park structure.
Mount Hiuchi stands among Japan's 100 Famous Mountains, with the Hakusankozakura flower recognized by artist Sumie Tanaka as its representative botanical symbol.
Climbers can access the summit through multiple routes from Sasagemine, with overnight stays available at Koya mountain hut or Kurosawa-ike hut.
The mountain marks the northernmost habitat for Rock Ptarmigans in Japan, hosting a population that produces the highest number of eggs nationwide.
