Kisokomagadake 木曽駒ヶ岳

Mt. Kiso-Komagatake (2,956 m) is the tallest mountain in the Central Japanese Alps in Nagano Prefecture. Despite the height, the climb is quite gentle thanks to the help of a ropeway. Komagatake Ropeway boasts as the highest rope-way station in Japan.

My final hiking trip with Dad before I move away to Niseko. The weather put on a show for us (with a bit of wind), making this weekend a stunning trip to see the alps.

It didn’t take us long to reach half-way point. We even considered bringing Mum next time with us

So close to 3000m!

There were many different routes leading you to all sorts of directions. We had the whole day to explore around the Kiso Mountains before we descended down via Dad’s chosen rocky route he saw on YouTube.

Back down, everyone snoozing on the bus on the way home. I tried to stay up to admire the last firey colours of Autumn (Kouyou), but the sway of the bus took me and Jess straight into snooze mode.
