Mount Asahi

朝日岳

Nasu, Tochigi · Elevation 1,896 m

Mount Asahi is a 1,896 m andesite stratovolcano in Nasu Town, Tochigi, near Chausudake and Sanbonyaridake. Its rocky ridges and steep faces give it a sharply jagged profile. Volcanic activity 200,000–100,000 years ago filled the horseshoe-shaped caldera of the older Sanbonyari volcano. Within Nikko National Park, the usual ascent follows the Nasu Ropeway route via Chausudake and Mine-no-chaya. The route has chain-assisted sections. Severe weather has caused many accidents, including the deaths of six high-school climbers in 1955.
