What other travelers are saying about Mount Chougatake
Arrived at Mimata parking lot at 5:20 and waited for the rain to stop. I forgot my backpack cover and panicked. The rain had stopped, so we left the parking lot at 8:40 and arrived at the Mimata trailhead at 9:00. After walking for a while and crossing a suspension bridge, it's a gentle climb for about an hour. The road goes up the ridgeline and climbs through winding bends.
After climbing the ridge for about 30 minutes, you will reach Mameuchidaira. There is a rest area where you can relax.
Departs at 10:55. After about 30 minutes of gentle climbing, it feels like going diagonally up the mountainside. There are many wooden stairs and the slope is quite steep, so you can't climb them unless you have a day off. It's humid and my clothes are drenched. It's longer and more tiring than I expected. 12:50 Take a break at the final bench. I'm pretty tired. 13:40 Summit of Mt. Chogatake Not much view due to gas. 13:45 Arrive at Chogatake Hutte. Many people had already set up tents and were eating.
It's hard to climb the Northern Alps within the course time (sweat).
My first attempt at the popular Mt. Chogatake 🎶
The Mimata parking lot seems to be full the night before❗
Mayumiike parking lot at 6am on Saturday morning.
I can barely stop.
At first, you walk along the river and the forest belt continues.
It’s also great during hot weather 🎵
There are quite a few stairs, so
Everyone has a pole.
When you reach the summit, the Hotaka mountain range is right in front of you.
It's very powerful.
Many people stay in tents
So colorful
I will come again.
The peak of Mt. Chogatake is not sharp, but rather looks like a hill. You can reach it by climbing a little from the butterfly hut. The summit is not a big deal, but the view from there is amazing. You can see Mt. Hotaka in front of your eyes.
It is a mountain that is easy to climb and offers beautiful views.
There are routes from Kamikochi Bus Terminal to Tokuzawaen or Yokoo, routes from Mimata Parking Lot, and routes that traverse from Mt. Jonen.
Hiking in July The scenery here is exceptional. I want to climb it again and again. The curry and beer at the mountaintop hut were irresistibly delicious.
