Recommended for winter mountain climbing
Located on the border between Chino City, Nagano Prefecture and Saku Town (now Sakuho Town) in Minamisaku District, Nagano Prefecture, the mountain has a stately shape with roots. The summit is divided into two peaks, with Shunaradaitenmu enshrined on the northern peak at 2,480m, and a third-class triangulation point at the southern peak at 2,473m.
The southern peak has a better view, with the mountains of the Yatsugatake main range overlapping in a straight line, and the long foothills stretching out towards the Suwa side are also magnificent. You can also see the Northern Alps in the distance.

This time, I will introduce Kitayokodake in Nagano Prefecture!
From the ropeway summit station, you can go on a walking trail that takes 30 to 40 minutes! You can also go hiking here!
The walking trail is a gravel road, so wear comfortable shoes!
There is also a mountain climbing course, so active people can go mountain climbing◎
If you are going to climb, be sure to prepare for mountain climbing!
If the weather looks like it will be bad, change the schedule for safety❗️

Beiheng Peak
Truly a tourist attraction.
So beautiful it takes your breath away.
Besides being moved, there is nothing else left but being moved.
On the morning after a heavy snowfall, you must come here to witness the stunning beauty of the frost-covered scenery. The only regret this time is that we came a week too late and much of the snow on the trees had already melted. Nevertheless, the beauty still moved me deeply.
Mount Beihengyue is a sightseeing snow mountain. As it is located above a ski resort, it only takes about two hours round trip to reach the mountaintop by cable car. The snow scenery along the forest road is breathtaking, but it is recommended to come only in good weather. After leaving the forest road, the wind is strong, so be sure to wear warm and windproof clothes and gloves in advance.
Cable car ticket: round trip 2100, cable car opens from 9:00 in the morning to 16:30 in the afternoon, the cable car is a large box-type cable car that can carry many people at once, don't worry about queuing for a long time.
Parking lot: free 🆓
