Overview
The Japanese Northern Alps traverse from Shin-Hotaka Onsen to Kamikochi crosses the backbone of the Japanese Alps through high-alpine terrain above the clouds. Mount Yarigatake at 3180m is the Matterhorn of Japan, a rocky pinnacle visible from every summit on the ridge. Mountain huts every few hours make this multi-day traverse accessible without expedition camping, while onsen in each valley provide a unique recovery culture.
