Mount Makihata

巻機山

Minamiuonuma, Niigata · Elevation 1,967 m

Mount Makihata is a 1,967 m peak on the border of Minami-Uonuma in Niigata and Minakami in Gunma, often called one of the great mountains of the Echigo borderlands. The gentle summit plateau is dotted with alpine ponds and wetlands, and a legend of Orihime (the weaver maiden) accompanies its long tradition of mountain worship. Listed in the Hyakumeizan, it observes its annual mountain-opening on the fourth Sunday of May. The standard Ido-One ridge route from the Sakurazaka trailhead reaches the summit in about five hours, while the Nukubizawa and Ura-Makihata routes are advanced lines with persistent snow and unstable terrain. An unmanned emergency hut sits just below the summit.
