Mount Asahi

朝日岳

Minakami, Gunma · Elevation 1,945 m

Mount Asahi is a 1,945 m peak straddling Minakami Town in Tone District (Gunma) and Minamiuonuma City (Niigata), sitting in the northeastern Tanigawa range of the Mikuni mountains within Jōshin'etsu Kōgen National Park. It is listed in the Nihon Sanbyaku Meizan, the Gunma Hyakumeizan, and the Kantō Hyakumeizan, and serves as a key way-point on the roughly 100 km Gunma Prefectural-Border Ridge Trail. The summit ridge is a broad grass-and-marsh plateau dotted with small ponds, with rich combined alpine and wetland flora. The standard ascent climbs from the Shiragamon trailhead at Yubiso in Minakami over Shiragamon and Kasaga-take to the summit — about a 9-hour one-way advanced route — while the celebrated Tanigawa horseshoe traverse linking the peak with Tanigawa-dake is a multi-day expert-grade undertaking.
