Mount Takatsuma

高妻山

Nagano, Nagano · Elevation 2,353 m

Mount Takatsuma is a 2,353 m peak straddling the border of Myōkō City in Niigata and Nagano City in Nagano, the highest summit in the Togakushi range. Its symmetrical conical shape has earned it the nickname Togakushi-Fuji, and it is listed in Fukada Kyūya's Hyakumeizan. Within Myōkō-Togakushi Renzan National Park, the upper ridge is lined with stone shrines representing the Togakushi Jūsanbutsu (thirteen Buddhas) — Ichifudō, Gojizō, Hachikannon, Kuseishi, and Jūamida — preserving its long history as a Shugendō pilgrimage route. Both standard trails — the Ichifudō / Gojizōyama route and the Miroku Shindō route — start from Togakushi Pasture and require eight or more hours, making the climb suitable only for experienced hikers.
