@tuffgongsg2984منذ 5 سنوات This video is fantastic and inspired me to do this same hike in late August of 2019. Some advice for people tackling this for the first time. Give yourself id="hidden1" class="buttons"> plenty of time. This is a strenuous hike up that is very steep and rocky at points. There are several stream and waterfall crossings that require your undivided attention and can be quite slippery. The second day is actually more challenging than day one. Hitting the two peaks in the morning and then descending to the Onsen is quite a workout. The downhill here is again very rocky terrain that requires navigating some slippery waterfall descents using chains bolted into rocks. And keep in mind that when you finish up at the Onsen you still have quite a ways back to the lodge where the bus dropped you. This portion was long and challenging as there were both several hills you had to hike up to get to the bottom of the mountain. Definitely factor in plenty of time in order to get back to the last bus pickup at 3:10pm. Or you can take a taxi for 4 times the prices back to Hakuba station. at least it is an option. This is a challenging trek and you need to be prepared with proper equipment and be in good physical shape. The video makes it out to be a lot easier. Also, you can book the top mountain lodge, Hakuba sanso online. They have a website and staff that can respond in English. There are different types of accommodations as well, so be sure and ask why types of rooms are available. Overall this is a very rewarding hike with world class scenery. Cheers! ....وسعت 55

@ReadySetJapanمنذ 3 سنوات This is the reason why I’m always out in Japan’s mountains. Sheer joy of being with nature and it’s breathtaking views!! 7

@zero7523منذ 5 سنوات Just did this same route last week. FYI to anyone, ascent from Sarukuraso took us 8.5 hours and descent to Sarukuraso took 11 hours. Please keep this in mind! 22

@yurifaenza4890منذ 6 سنوات Hiked this last month. It is really breathtaking, and the video makes a good job at describing it. The hut at the summit also offers bento box for lunch id="hidden3" class="buttons"> and English is spoken. On the second day, an alternative to the proposed route is to hike towards Tsugaike. You'll pass by a mountain lake, more snow, a small yet thick forest and an almost swamp-like area. A gondola + a bus will bring you back to Hakuba. ....وسعت 13

@robertcontignonقبل 10 أشهر Thank you very much for the purely breathtaking hiking trip to the rooftops of Japan ! ⛰ The Japanese Alps are an impressive mountain range with an und="hidden4" class="buttons">ique charm and a rich natural diversity that offers also an incredible number of high summits. I love the hiking path as it's well maintained and marked.‍♂️ Moreover, security seems to be an important point, which is very reassuring. Finally, I totally love the various lodges on the hiking path as they let us enjoy breaks while experiencing Japanese culture.
Many thanks to Joe Mignano for having achieved this athletic goal for us ! ....وسعت 3

@intisol68منذ 6 سنوات This "Yarigatake" is "白馬鑓ヶ岳". In Japan north Alps, thera are 3 "Yarigatake". Those are "槍ヶ岳Yarigatake" in south area, "鹿島槍ヶ岳Kashima-Yarigatake" in central and "白馬鑓ヶ岳 Shrouma-Yarigatake" in norsh zone.

@MetroidMotherمنذ 6 سنوات I just climbed Mt. Fuji a few days ago, and what I would like to know, is if this one is harder. While at Mt. Fuji the hike from the 5th station to the id="hidden16" class="buttons"> summit goes up ca. 1500m in elevation, this one apparently goes up ca. 1700m, wich is a good bit more, and you do it in about the same time or even less and without having an extended rest after 2/3 of the ascend, while this one does seem a good but less steep (which also mean you have to hike a greater distance), does that realy make it that much easier than Mt. Fujii? Because he doesn't even seem to break a sweat. I would love to do that hike, but I have to admit that Mt. Fuji was way closer to my limit than I would have liked (wich for a good part was because of the freezing weather near the top at night, and the steepness of the trail both up and down making my joints hurt pretty bad), wich made it a not really enjoyable climb, and I wouldn't want this one to be a bad experience for me as well. What do you think? ....وسعت 7

Maybe too late to include the Japanese alps due to id="hidden18" class="buttons"> snow ? I really wanted to hike to Mount Yari and was able to hike up to Yarisawa Lodge from Kamikochi in October. It was the last day where the huts were opened and it snowed. ....وسعت
