Mount Utsugi

空木岳

Okuwa, Nagano / Komagane, Nagano / Iijima, Nagano · Elevation 2,864 m

Mount Utsugi is a 2,864 m peak on the boundary between Komagane City and Ōkuwa Village in Nagano Prefecture, the second-highest summit of the Kiso Mountains (Central Alps) after Mount Kisokoma. Listed in Fukada Kyūya's Hyakumeizan and within the Chūō Alps Quasi-National Park established in 2020, the upper ridge is lined with chalk-white granite towers whose contrast against the dark green creeping pine has earned the mountain its admirers. The principal route climbs from Komagane-Kōgen along the Ikeyama Ridge to the summit; from the Kiso side a trail follows the Ina River headwaters out of Ōkuwa, and the long traverse south from Mount Kisokoma is also a popular alternative. The Komamine Hütte and the Utsugidaira emergency hut just below the summit serve climbers as the principal high-altitude shelter.
