- [Senjojiki Cirque](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/senjojiki-cirque): Nagano, Mountain. A glacial cirque at about 2,600 metres in the Central Alps above Komagane, reached by the Komagatake Ropeway.
- [Mount Asama](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/mount-asama): Nagano, Mountain. The 2,568-meter volcano that smokes behind Karuizawa, on the Nagano and Gunma border. The crater is always closed; at alert Level 1 hikers can reach Maekake-yama, and at Level 2 the turnaround is Kurofu-yama on the old outer rim.
- [Mount Ontake](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/mount-ontake): Nagano, Mountain. A 3,067-meter active volcano on the Nagano and Gifu border, the second-highest volcano in Japan after Fuji. The 2014 eruption killed 58 climbers and 5 remain missing; the summit area now opens only for a summer season, usually from early July to mid-October. The Ontake Ropeway lifts you to the seventh station at 2,150 meters.
- [Hotakadake](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/hotakadake): Nagano, Mountain. A horseshoe of rock peaks around the Karasawa cirque, topped by Okuhotaka at 3,190 m, the highest point in Nagano and Gifu and the third-highest mountain in Japan. The hut below the summit puts the walk from Kamikochi at about nine hours, so almost everyone spends a night on the way.
- [Yarigatake](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/yarigatake): Nagano, Mountain. The 3,180-meter spear-shaped peak of the Northern Alps, fifth-highest in Japan, usually climbed over two days from Kamikochi. The final 30 minutes from Yarigatake Sanso go up rock, chains and iron ladders, and on peak holidays the queue for them can last hours.
- [Mount Yake](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/mount-yake): Nagano, Mountain. The active volcano on the Nagano and Gifu border above Kamikochi, climbed as a day hike to its 2,444 m north peak, where fumaroles steam beside the trail. Check the Japan Meteorological Agency's alert level before you go; the higher south peak is closed.
