Topographic Architecture of Mount Hotaka / Okuhotakadake
Mount Hotaka (Okuhotakadake) is the third-highest mountain in Japan at 3,190 metres (10,466 ft) and the supreme summit of the Hida Mountains in Chūbu-Sangaku National Park. Rising majestically above the idyllic alpine meadows of Kamikochi, the Hotaka Massif is famed for its rugged knife-edge arêtes, towering precipices, and the legendary Gendarme rock tower. Explored and introduced to the international alpine community by Reverend Walter Weston in the 1890s, Mount Hotaka is considered the spiritual cradle of Japanese technical rock climbing and alpine mountaineering.
