This is a first time to go to Yatsugata-Take which is 2899m high, and is located 135 km far North-West direction from Tokyo. I went there with a fried during the weekend.

It takes about three hours on foot from the Minotoguchi bus stop to the Gyoja-Goya base camp. The temperature in the night was minus 19 degrees centigrade.

Early in the next morning, we tried to climb Mt. Aka-Dake from the base camp, and it took about two hours from the base camp to the top of mountain without any trouble.

I have tried to simulate the 3D image view by Kashmir-3D software and compared with a real view I took at that time as shown in the left side images.
