Mt. Goryu-dake | THE JAPAN ALPS

The voluminous mountain, Mt. Goryu-dake can be seen from the Azumino area and Tateyama Mountains. There is a V shaped cut in the mountain range between Mt. Goryu-dake and Mt. Kashima-yari-gatake known as “Hachimine”, which triggers one’s willingness to climb. On the east side, there are 10 rock ridges, which all fall to Shiradake-sawa and these are ridges that many rock climbers long for. In the local area, they used to be called Warabishi-no-atama by the way they looked or Mt. Goryu-dake owing to a resemblance with Takeda-bishi. The most popular course is a route asending from Happo o’ne to Mt. Karamatsu-dake then descending on Toomi o’ne. Another route from Mt. Kashima-yari-gatake includes the Hachimine V-shaped cut ridge Route – this may scare you but it will be a great memory.

Mt. Goryu-dake: Elevation 2,814 m

Mt. Goryu-dake. One might imagine a masculine shape for the mountain by the name alone. It is actually a powerful mountain, however, the approaches from Happo o’ne or Tomi o’ne are accessible for anyone. A ridgeline walk from Mt. Kashima-yari-gatake is challenging. From the north peak of Mt. Kashima-yari-gatake to Kiretto koya Mountain hut, the rocky ridgeline walk requires the use of ladders and chains. It will be a downhill with a 300 m variance in elevation. In general, more accidents happen in rocky zones when descending than ascending. Make sure to wear a helmet and proceed at a steady pace.
