Mount Yoichi

余市岳

Akaigawa, Hokkaido · Elevation 1,488 m

Mount Yoichi is a 1,488 m peak straddling Akaigawa Village in Yoichi District and Minami Ward, Sapporo, the highest summit within Sapporo's city limits. It is listed in the Nihon Sanbyaku Meizan, the Hana no Hyakumeizan, the Hokkaidō Hyakumeizan, and the Sapporo 50 Peaks; the broad summit hosts an alpine flower field with chinguruma, ezo-kanzō, and shinano-kinbai blooming in early summer. The main route, the Akaigawa Course, starts from Kiroro Resort in Akaigawa, taking a 3.9 km forest-road approach to reach the trailhead. When the Asarigatake Panorama Gondola runs in summer, climbers can begin from the top station at 1,185 m, putting the summit within easier reach for beginners. From the top, the panorama spans Mount Yōtei, the Niseko Range, and the peaks ringing Sapporo.
