Mount Eboshi
烏帽子岳
Toyama, Toyama · Elevation 2,628 m
Mount Eboshi is a 2,628 m peak straddling Toyama City in Toyama Prefecture and Ōmachi City in Nagano Prefecture, rising on the main ridge of the Hida (Northern Japanese) Alps within Chūbu Sangaku National Park. The sharp eboshi (court-cap) rock tower at the summit gives the mountain its name, and it is the starting point of the renowned Ura-Ginza traverse. Listed in the Nihon Nihyaku Meizan, the Shinshū Hyakumeizan, and the Toyama no Hyakuzan, the high ridge is fringed with white granitic gravel, dwarf pine and shirabiso fir, the Yotsugōra tarns, and notable colonies of Komakusa. The standard ascent climbs the Bunadate Ridge from the Nanakura trailhead beyond the Takase Dam — one of the "Big Three" steepest climbs in Japan with 1,250 m of relief — reaching Eboshi-goya hut on the ridge, from where the summit is about 45 minutes farther. The hut also serves as the launching point for the long Ura-Ginza traverse to Noguchi-Gorō, Suishō, and Washiba.
