  • Mt. Yahiko
    Travel / Tourism
    Yahiko village Nishikanbara gun Niigata ken
    This is the highest peak of the Yahiko Mountain Range which sits on the Echigo Basin alongside the Sea of Japan. It stands 634 meters above sea level, the same height as the Tokyo Sky Tree, and the silhouette of its peak is one of its key features. In the afterwards of Fukada Kyuya's book 100 Famous Japanese Mountains he states that while the height of the mountain might be lacking it has to be included. The ropeway on the Mt. Yahiko Skyline is both great ways to access the summit. The mountain is used for excursions by the local elementary and middle schools and is recommended for beginner mountain climbers. From the summit you have a great view of everything from the Sea of Japan to the Echigo Basin and the site of the sunset over Sadogashima Island is highly regarded.
