- [Kitadake](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/kitadake): Yamanashi, Mountain. At 3,193 meters, Kitadake in the Southern Alps is second only to Fuji, and the only place on earth where the Kitadake buttercup grows. The Hirogawara trailhead can be reached only by bus or taxi, and only from late June to early November; most climbers spend a night at a hut on the way.
