北アルプス Japanese northern Alps

Not Tokyo but it's the real stuff. Tiered from Takao-san and Mitake? Want a real hike and with a view instead of volcano like boring Fuji-San? Kita Alps is the place to go. For instance a hike from Hakuba to Happo-pond, Karamatsudake, stay overnight in the hut, head on to Goryodake and back down. Stunning.
