Mount Kitadake: A Crown Jewel of Japan’s Southern Alps
Mount Kitadake, located in Yamanashi Prefecture, is the second-highest peak in Japan, standing majestically at 3,193 meters (10,476 feet).

Many hikers choose to stay overnight in mountain lodges like Kitadake Katano-koya to catch the magical sunrise from the summit.
Mount Kitadake isn’t just a mountain; it’s an adventure that combines awe-inspiring landscapes with a sense of accomplishment. Whether you’re a seasoned climber or someone looking to explore Japan’s natural beauty, Kitadake offers a memorable escape into the heart of the Southern Alps.
