Mount Kitadake, the highest peak in the Southern Alps, stands as the second-highest mountain in Japan after Mount Fuji. The ascent to the summit is steep and demanding, requiring strong physical endurance.
However, it is renowned as one of the 100 flower mountains in Japan, and the hiking trail is adorned with alpine flora that soothes the soul.
I was blessed with good weather, and the view from the summit and the mountain hut was amazing.
The view of Mount Fuji from the summit of Mount Kitadake and the mountain hut was beautiful,
