3 Reasons

Queen of the Northern Alps

Rising 2,763 meters along the mountain range of Japan’s main island, Mount Tsubakuro and its glorious white granite rock reflects the light on sunny days, creating an impressive spectacle. For this reason it has earned the nickname the Queen of the Northern Alps, and is an impressive peak to summit with its outstanding beauty.

Picturesque rock shapes

The mountain is home to a cool collection of curious rock formations. Walking along the ridgeline towards the summit, you’ll be able to see Dolphin Rock and Glass Rock, among many other interesting shapes that will catch your imagination while ascending to the summit. This is not your standard mountain, but one filled with surprises.

Treasure of alpine wildlife

If there is one plant that best represents the Northern Alps then it is the striking pink flower called Komakusa. The most abundant area where they grow is close to Mount Tsubakuro. While the animals of the region include the rare Raicho grouse, which is now a nationally protected species. The wildlife here adds an extra dimension to hiking.
