Hiking in Chubusangaku National Park
The western slope of the Azumino valley rises up toward the soaring peaks of the Northern Alps, part of Chubusangaku National Park. Easy access has made these mountains a beloved destination for hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts, who flock here to immerse themselves in the national park’s pristine natural environment. Snow melts early on the nearest peaks, resulting in a long hiking season, and three trailheads lead to a choice of trails, from short, beginner-friendly routes to multiday traverses that require experience and stamina.
