On our quest to climb all 100 famous Japanese mountains or \u65e5\u672c\u767e\u540d\u5c71 (Nihon Hyaku-meizan) as they are known in Japanese, we made our way to Mt. Asahidake, located within the Daisetsuzan National Park in the centre of the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. Daisetsuzan is Japan\u2019s largest national park spanning 2268 square kilometres and Mt. Asahidake is Hokkaido\u2019s highest peak sitting at 2291m.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There are numerous access points to the Daisetsuzan national park and many different hiking routes available ranging from day-hikes to multi-day hikes. There are actually three of the 100 famous Japanese mountains located within the Daisetsuzan national park (Mt. Asahidake, Mt. Tomuraushi and Mt. Tokachi) and it\u2019s possible to summit all of them if you plan a multi-day hike and camp or stay in huts along the way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Mt. Asahidake has a very short climbing season since snow melts in June and reappears in late September. The peak hiking season is during the months of July and August. The weather can also be extremely changeable so it\u2019s really important to be well-prepared for cold weather, rain and snow if you plan on doing this hike. <\/span><\/p>

We started our hike up Mt. Asahidake from Asahidake onsen via the Nakadake-onsen route and camped near the summit. We will share our experience of hiking Mt. Asahidake below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The information and photos we share in our 100 famous Japanese mountains<\/a> blog posts is the type of information we wish we could have known before doing the hikes ourselves! <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
