Mount Yake

焼岳

Takayama, Gifu / Matsumoto, Nagano · Elevation 2,455 m

Mount Yake is a 2,455 m active volcano on the border between Matsumoto, Nagano, and Takayama, Gifu. It continues to emit fumaroles in the Hida Mountains and is continuously monitored. It lies in Chubu-Sangaku National Park. Its 1915 Taisho eruption dammed the Azusa River, creating Taisho Pond in Kamikochi. The summit has south and north peaks: climbing the north peak is permitted, while the south peak is closed. The main approaches are the Shin-Naka-no-yu route from National Route 158 and the Kamikochi route via Yakedake-Goya hut. Entry restrictions depend on volcanic alert levels, and the Kamikochi trail closes in winter.
