Mount Petegari

ペテガリ岳

Taiki, Hokkaido · Elevation 1,736 m

Mount Petegari is a 1,736 m peak in the central Hidaka Mountains, with the summit straddling Shinhidaka Town and Taiki Town in Hokkaidō. It lies within the Hidaka-Erimo-Tokachi National Park established in 2024 and is included in the Nihon Nihyaku Meizan and the Hokkaidō Hyakumeizan. Three cirques (A, B, and C) wrap around the peak, giving it one of the most elegant silhouettes of the range; the Ainu-derived name comes from "pete-kari," meaning "the river that circles back." The usual west-ridge itinerary is an advanced two-night, three-day route from Urakawa via the Motoura River forest road, Kamui Sansō, and Petegari Sansō. Entry from the Shinhidaka side via Hokkaidō Prefectural Road 111 is prohibited, including on foot. The east-ridge route from Taiki is unmaintained and unsuited to ordinary hikers; the range is also remembered for the 1989 avalanche that killed eight members of Hokkaidō University's mountaineering club.
