Mount Akaushi

赤牛岳

Toyama, Toyama · Elevation 2,864 m

Mount Akaushi is a 2,864 m peak in Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, rising in the Kurobe headwaters at the deepest interior of the Hida (Northern Japanese) Alps. Designated a Special Protection Area of Chūbu Sangaku National Park in 1934 and listed in the Nihon Nihyaku Meizan and the Nihon Hyaku Kōzan, the mountain takes its name from its reddish granite slopes and gentle, recumbent profile said to resemble a resting cow — the highest of Japan's "ox" peaks. The summit commands sweeping views of Yakushi, Suishō, Yari, and Lake Kurobe. The two principal ascents are the long Yomiuri Shindō (opened by the Yomiuri Shimbun) climbing the north ridge from Okukurobe Hut on Lake Kurobe, and the Ura-Ginza traverse extending via Suishō-dake from Eboshi-dake — both multi-day routes for fit hikers.
