Mount Senjōgatake

Located in Minami-Alps City, this 3,033-meter mountain is often referred to as the "Queen of the Southern Alps" due to its stunning beauty. It features terrain shaped by glaciers, known as cirques, and despite its high elevation, it is popular as an introductory climb for those new to alpine hiking. The mountain does not have dangerous cliff-like sections, making it accessible for those with sufficient physical strength.
From the summit, you can enjoy breathtaking views of iconic Japanese mountains such as Mount Fuji and Mount Kitadake. While hiking, you can sense the respect climbers have for nature—carrying back all trash, walking carefully to avoid damaging alpine plants, and taking measures to protect the environment. Even without climbing, simply gazing up at the majestic scenery inspires a sense of reverence and fills you with a gentle feeling.
