Mt. Kiso-Komagatake Round Trip from Senjojiki Cirque

After getting off the ropeway, the Senjojiki Cirque will spread out before your eyes. From the bottom of the Cirque, climb the steep slope, which is scattered with granite rocks of various sizes.

After climbing to the top of the steep slope, which is equipped with handholds and steps, you will arrive at Jodo Nokkoshi　(Johdo Nokkoshi), where expansive ridgelines will spread out before your eyes. Looking back, you will see the Senjojiki Cirque spread out below you.

After passing the blue-roofed Hoken Sanso mountain hut (Hohken Sanso) and ascending the gently-sloping trail, you will arrive at Mt. Nakadake, which is lined with massive boulders.

As you ascend the gentle slope, you will find the Komagatake Chojo Sanso mountain hut half-way up to the peak. After passing the mountain hut, you will start the final gently-sloping hike to the summit, which is scattered with granite rocks.

There are two shrines stemming back to the days of mountain worship located at the peak.From the peak you can enjoy a commanding view of the Central Japanese Alps including the precipitous Mt. Hoken (Hoken-dake or Hohken-dake) and the triangular Mt. Sannosawa (Sannosawa-dake).

Take the same path down the mountain.
