Otari, Nagano / Itoigawa, Niigata · Elevation 1,963 m

Mount Amakazari is a 1,963 m peak straddling the border between Itoigawa City in Niigata Prefecture and Otari Village in Nagano Prefecture, at the western edge of Myōkō-Togakushi Renzan National Park. Its summit forms a twin peak (north and south) from which the Kubiki sanzan, the Sea of Japan, and the Hakuba range of the Northern Alps are all visible. Listed in Fukada Kyūya's Hyakumeizan, the mountain is celebrated for its mosaic of snow patches, beech primary forest, bamboo grass slopes, and rocky ridges. Trails ascend from the Otari Onsen Amakazari-kōgen trailhead on the Nagano side and the Amakazari Onsen trailhead (Amakazari-sansō hut) on the Niigata side, with traffic regulations in force at the trailheads during the autumn foliage season.
