Mount Harinoki

針ノ木岳

Tateyama, Toyama · Elevation 2,821 m

Mount Harinoki is a 2,821 m peak straddling Tateyama Town in Toyama Prefecture and Ōmachi City in Nagano Prefecture, sitting at the southern end of the Ushiro-Tateyama Range within Chūbu-Sangaku National Park in the Northern Alps. Listed in the Nihon Nihyaku Meizan, the Shin Hana no Hyakumeizan, and the Nihon Hyakkōzan, its eastern flank holds the Harinoki Snow Valley, ranked alongside the Hakuba and Tsurugizawa snow valleys as one of Japan's three great snow couloirs. The summit commands views across Lake Kurobe to the Tateyama Range and east to the Yari–Hotaka spires. The classic route climbs from Ōgisawa through Ōsawa Hut, the Harinoki Snow Valley, and Harinoki Pass to the summit; Harinoki-goya hut at the pass, opened in 1930, still maintains the trail today together with Ōsawa Hut under the same operator.
