八甲田とは


八甲田は、一つの山の名前ではなく、 およそ二十の山を擁する広い火山地域の総称です。八甲田山系には、北部八甲田山系の八甲田大岳 (別称大岳)、田茂萢岳、赤倉岳、小岳、高田大岳、そして南部八甲田山系の櫛ヶ峯、駒ヶ峯、乗鞍岳が含まれます。

田茂萢岳、赤倉岳、大岳周辺の北部山系周辺のトレイルはよく整備されているので、年齢を問わず誰でも容易に山を楽しめます。トレイルは、ブナ、モミ、カシ、カバの原始林を抜け、自生環境下で生育する高山植物や湿地植物を見られる地域を通っています。

田茂萢岳の上にあるロープウェイを利用すれば、年間を通して高原地域でのハイキング、スキー、そして壮大な景色に容易にアクセスできます。


What is Hakkoda?


Hakkoda is not the name of a single mountain, but rather a collective term for a larger volcanic area that encompasses approximately 20 peaks, including Mt. Hakkoda Odake (also known as Mt. Odake), Mt. Tamoyachidake, Mt. Akakuradake, Mt. Kodake, and Mt. Takada Odake in the northern Hakkoda mountain range, as well as Mt. Kushigamine, Mt. Komagamine, and Mt. Norikuradake in the southern Hakkoda mountain range.

The hiking trails of the northern range around Mt. Tamoyachidake, Mt. Akakuradake, and Mt. Odake are well maintained, so visitors of all ages can easily navigate the mountains. The trails take hikers through native forests of beech, fir, oak, and birch, into terrain where alpine flowers and wetland plants can be seen in their native environments.

The Hakkoda Ropeway, located on Mt. Tamoyachidake, provides easy year-round access to the highland area for hiking, skiing, and spectacular views.
