聖岳

Seidake (only Hijiri) is a mountain at an altitude of 3013m located on the border of Shizuoka City's Sakai Ward and Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, in the southern part of the Akaishi Mountains (Southern Alps). Selected as one of Japan's top 100 mountains. Located in the Southern Alps National Park, the main peak is Seidake at an altitude of 3,013 m (may be referred to as Mae Seigaku), followed by Oku Seigaku at a point about 500 m on the east side and Koseidake at a point about 800m on the south side. . It is the southernmost 3,000 m peak in the Southern Alps. Fuji is the southernmost 3,000m peak in Japan. There is a large colony of alpine plants in Seira, located around the summit and about 2,300m above the south. Yamana is said to have been converted into a “folded elbow” or “helix” in the shape of Seisawa flowing in the southeast, with his elbow bent. Another name is “Hichigatake” (Hijiritake). There is curl topography on the south side. There is a large collapse on the southwest slope, and there is an exposed area of ​​the red chart (Radioral rock). There is much rainfall during the rainy season. The top of the mountain may snow until the end of 5. There is residual snow on the mountain trail until the beginning of 6. At the beginning of the 11 month, the summit becomes a full-fledged winter mountain. The slope on the east side is a special Tokai Paper Igawa company forest, which is a plantation for coniferous forests. The area around the summit is a granite rocky mountain in the pine forest at the limit of the forest, where alpine plants grow natively and is a habitat for grouse (thunderbirds). The hillside is covered with coniferous forest, and Japanese antelope, sika deer, etc. inhabit it. In the vicinity of Seihei, there is a problem of altitude loss caused by sika deer due to the effects of global warming, and there are mountain areas where alpine plants fed by grouse other than the toxic diatom are consumed. The Ministry of the Environment conducts “green worker business” such as installing deer protection fences to investigate the countermeasures. The “Southern Alps Plant Protection Volunteer Network” was launched in 2002 (Heisei 14) in order to implement conservation measures for alpine plants in the southern southern Alps. There are no private houses in the vicinity. There was a forest management office in Nishizawa-to on the Nagano Prefecture side, but it is no longer used and is ruined. You can see the mountain from the vicinity of Shimoguri village in Iida city at the foot of the mountain. There are climbers who visit this deep mountain because it has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 mountains. There are multiple mountain trails. There is an example of going back and forth on a day trip from a mountain climbing point with an altitude difference of 2,000m or more in the early morning, but it will be climbed over several days using a mountain hut or a designated camp. The western surface of the summit is a huge buttress-like collapse wall, of which the E and F ridges, where the rock mass is relatively stable, are the targets of climbing the rock ridge. There is a mountain trail from the summit to Okushodake. Seigaku Higashi-one may be used as a variation route in winter. From the summit, there is a view of 360 degrees, such as the surrounding Southern Alps, the Central Alps to the west, the Northern Alps to the northwest, and Mt.
