Itoigawa, Niigata / Asahi, Toyama · Elevation 1,593 m

Mt. Inugatake is a 1,593 m peak on the boundary between Itoigawa City (Niigata) and Asahi Town (Toyama), at the northernmost end of the Hida (Northern Alps) Range. It serves as a key waypoint on the Tsugami Shindō, the long-distance traverse trail that links the Oyashirazu coast on the Japan Sea (sea level) over Mt. Shiratori (1,286.9 m) and Inugatake to Asahidake (2,418 m); the unmanned Tsugami Sansō hut sits on the north side of the summit. Opened in 1971 after six years of trail-cutting by the Sawagani Mountaineering Club, it is rated a top-advanced route with no escape options. The peak appears in the Echigo, Etchu, Shin-Etchu, and Toyama Hundred Mountain lists, the Niigata 100 Mountains, the Niigata and Toyama Prefecture mountains guidebooks, the Japan 1000 Mountains, and the Japan 1003 Mountain Elevations list.
