Description

Mount Shiomi (Shiomi-dake, 3,052 m) rises in the centre of the Akaishi Mountains — Japan's Southern Alps — right on the border of Nagano and Shizuoka Prefectures, within Minami Alps National Park. It is one of the "100 Famous Japanese Mountains" (Nihon Hyakumeizan) and is known for its deep-in-the-range position, which demands a long approach and an overnight stay. The summit has two rocky domes — the west peak (3,047 m, the Wikidata elevation) and east peak (3,052 m, the high point) — with an exposed rocky ridge near the top. Being far from any road access, Shiomi is often climbed as part of a large Southern Alps traverse or as a 1–2 night trip from the Torikura trailhead on the Nagano side. From the summit, hikers enjoy a wide panorama toward Kita-dake, Aino-dake and distant Mount Fuji.
