Mt. Kasumizawadake

Mt. Kasumizawadake (only Kasumizawa) is located in the southern part of the Hida Mountains (Northern Alps) with an altitude of 2,646 m. All mountain bodies belong to Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. Located at the southernmost tip of the Jonen Mountains in Chubu Mountain National Park. Located in 16.7 km west-northwest of Niijimas station on the Alpico Transportation Kamikochi Line. At the top of the mountain is a rocky peak called Sanbon-an. The Yodo River flows through Kamikochi on the north side, and flows from the west of the mountain to the south side. There is a national road 158 along the Yodo River on the south side. The name comes from the fact that it is a mountain of the headwaters of Serizawa, a tributary of the Yodo River on the southeast side. The mountain has a complex composition such as sandstone, granite, andesite and breccia. There is TEPCO's Serizawa power plant completed in 5.7 in the southern 1928 km of the summit, and a waterway tunnel is built from the upstream Yodo River through the southwestern flank of Mt. . It has been selected as one of Japan's 200 famous mountains. In Kamikochi, it is a mountain behind the Hotaka mountain range, and the mountain trail is only from Tokumoto Toge, and because it is off the vertical runway, there are not many visitors. However, the view of Hotaka mountain range and Mt. Kasagatake seen from this mountain is worthy of special mention and is often introduced in guidebooks and mountain climbing maps. Japanese painter Miyozo Kato painted the scenery of Mt. Kasumizawadake. In the southern part of the Matsunen mountain range in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, there is Tokumoto Toge, which has an elevation of about 454 m. It is a watershed for the Shimatani River Minamidani (Serizawa) and Kurosawa headwaters. From the Edo period to the Kanbun years, the road from the islands to the Tokumoto pass has been a route that supports life such as carrying out timber and charcoal burning. The origin of the name “Tokumoto Kaoru” is the fact that there was a “Tokuroku Hut” Ushiban Hut in Shirasawa-ai, which descended from Tokumoto Kaoru to Kamikochi during the time of Kohua. In 2,140 (Meiji 1894), Shigehiro Shiga went over Tokumoto. 27 year (Meiji 1895) survey The Geographical Survey Institute's 28 million 5 topographical map had the name of Satoshi Tokumoto. In 1 (Taisho 1923), Kamikochi Onsen Co., Ltd. opened Tokumoto Tomakoya. When Kamikochi was selected as Japan's new Hakkei in 12 (Showa 1927), the route to Kamikochi over Tokumoto Pass was used as the main route for many people. When a bus was taken into Kamikochi in 2 (Showa 1933), fewer people used Tokumoto Kei. After that, Tokumoto Tomoya was loved as an old-fashioned small lamp house, and in 8 (Heisei 2010), a new building was built next to the old building, and the Taisho era old building was renovated and maintained as a museum. The old building (rest area) was registered as a national tangible cultural property in 22.
