I climbed Mt. Okuhotakadake & Mt. Maehotakadake in 2 days.
This video shows the first day of climbing.
The scenery I saw during this mountain climbing became my most favorite scenery!
Mt. Okuhotakadake is the three times highest mountain in Japan, and it is the most famous mountain in Japanese Alps.
Because there are ladders and steep slopes, you can enjoy exciting climbing!
Autumn leaves in Karasawa (The part of Mt. Okuhotakadake) is amazingly beautiful, so it is often said that autumn leaves people want to see at least once before their death.
It is located in the center of North Japanese Alps, so you can see many famous mountains from the Top.
