<h5>Mount Tanigawa (1,977m) is a rocky rugged mountain in the top 100 famous mountains in Japan. </h5>
It is not a mountain for novices. It sits in a location influenced by weather systems of both the Pacific ocean and the sea of Japan, and it often results in extreme weathers.

I have travelled and climbed mountains around the world but Tanigawadake remains the mountain I love and climb the most, and would like to share the experience with you!

For this programme, you can learn basic winter mountaineering skills as well.
<ul>
 	<li>You can access it in about 100 minutes from central Tokyo.</li>
 	<li>Despite it's 2,000m height, because of its location and weather conditions, it offers a package of activities that a 3,000m+ mountains would. For example, backcountry skiing, rock climbing, alpinism, or trekking, but with much better access and approach!</li>
 	<li>Tanigawadake is buried in deep powdery snow a lot of the times. Tenjindaira ski resort close by can be open until beginning of May!</li>
 	<li>There are a few variation in routes, from casual hiking trails with gondola access, to more technical routes for the experienced with proper gears.</li>
 	<li>It is one of the top 3 big wall rock climbing meccas of Japan, along with Mt Tsurugi and Mt Hodaka in the Northern Japanese Alps.</li>
 	<li>You can enjoy an abundance of flora in the summer!</li>
</ul>
It takes one day to ascend it, around 5 hours, and I offer this winter climbing trip in April and May.

Please get in touch with me if you plan to come in the area of Gunma or Niigata. It will be my pleasure to guide you up there and spend a beautiful day up in the mountains with you.

Winter climbing on Mount Tanigawa

A good climb although weather wasn\'t good and couldn\'t see much at the summit. 

Excellent guide for a very dangerous mountain! In Hiroko\'s hands she guided me across challenging terrain. I highly recommend this winter hike as she will teach you the basics of winter mountaineering. The mountain is quite steep. For beginner mountaineers, this is the perfect trial ground.

Hiroko was polite friendly and extremely helpful. She dropped me off at an onsen after the hike and then dropped me off at the train station.

Hiro was fantastic from start to finish. She introduced me to winter techniques and was brilliant company all the way to the peak. She is a true pro. It was an epic day on Tanigawa that will live long in the memory!
