寒江山

Nishikawa, Yamagata · Elevation 1,695 m

Mt. Kankōsan is a 1,694.9 m peak near Ōisawa in Nishikawa Town, Yamagata Prefecture, lying within Bandai-Asahi National Park on the main ridge of the Asahi Mountains midway between Mt. Itō and Mt. Nishi-Asahi. The mountain's elongated north-south ridge carries three summits — Minami-Kankō, Kankō and Kita-Kankō — and the important Kitsuneana emergency hut sits about 20 minutes north of Kita-Kankō, a key way-station on the Asahi range traverse. Standing along the Yamagata-Niigata watershed, it is included on the Niigata 100 Mountains list; the recommended climbing season runs from mid-June through mid-October.
