Mount Asahi

朝日岳

Asahi, Toyama · Elevation 2,418 m

Mount Asahi is a 2,418 m peak straddling Itoigawa City in Niigata Prefecture and Asahi Town in Shimoniikawa District, Toyama Prefecture, sitting at the northernmost end of the Ushiro-Tateyama Range of the Northern Alps within Chūbu-Sangaku National Park. It is listed in the Nihon Sanbyaku Meizan, the Shin Nihon Hyakumeizan, the Niigata 100 Meizan, the Toyama 100 Mountains, and the Echigo 100 Meizan. Its heavy snowfall keeps snow couloirs alive into summer, and the broad summit plateau holds the Kozakuragahara wetland and an alpine plant community designated a Special Natural Monument. The two main trails are the Niigata-side route from Renge Onsen via the Goryū Ridge and the Toyama-side route from Kitamata via the Ibori Ridge. Asahi-goya hut (operated by Asahi Town, open late June to mid-October) just below the summit handles trail maintenance and climber support, and the peak is a celebrated link in the high traverse to Yukikura-dake and Mount Shirouma.
