Mount Shokanbetsudake
暑寒別岳
Mashike, Hokkaido · Elevation 1,491 m
Mount Shokanbetsudake is a 1,491.62 m peak in northwestern Hokkaidō, the principal summit of the Mashike Mountains. The summit lies at the meeting point of Mashike, Uryū, Hokuryū, and Shintotsukawa towns and sits within the Shokanbetsu-Teuri-Yagishiri Quasi-National Park. A first-class triangulation point (named Shokan-dake) marks the top, and the mountain is included in the Nihon Nihyaku Meizan, the Ittō-Sankakuten Hyakumeizan, the Hokkaidō Hyakumeizan, and the New Hana no Hyakumeizan. Alpine meadows around the summit host endemic species such as Mashike-genge and Mashike-otogiri, earning the peak a reputation as one of Hokkaidō's foremost flower mountains. Three maintained trails reach the summit: the Shokan and Hashibetsu routes from Mashike, and the southern route from Uryū that traverses the Uryūnuma wetland. The Ainu-derived name means "the river above the waterfall."
