Mount Kasagatake

笠ヶ岳

Minakami, Gunma · Elevation 1,852 m

Mount Kasagatake is a 1,852 m peak in Minakami Town, Tone District, Gunma, set within Jōshin'etsu-Kōgen National Park on the ridge facing Mount Tanigawa between Mount Shiragamon to the south and Mount Asahi to the north. The name evokes a kasa hat, capturing the peak's rounded silhouette. The summit is a waypoint on the famous "horseshoe traverse" that links Doai Station, Shiragamon, Kasa, and Asahi, reached in about an hour from the top of Shiragamon. An emergency hut, the Kasagatake Hinangoya, sits just below the summit. The peak features in Gunma Hyakumeizan and the Gunma Border-Ridge Trail.
