【北アルプス・燕岳】雲海・ご来光・雷鳥！燕山荘1泊2日の贅沢ハイク 4K｜長野散歩
Hi, this is SANPO GUIDE. This time, I’m heading to Mt. Tsubakuro—one of the most popular beginner hikes in the Northern Japanese Alps. Since it’s the Alps, I decided to stay overnight at a mountain hut and enjoy the full experience. From Shinjuku, I take the Limited Express Azusa to Matsumoto in Nagano—about two and a half hours. At Matsumoto Station, I transfer to the Oito Line and head to Hotaka Station, where the bus to the trailhead departs. Since I want to catch the earliest bus, I’m staying at a business hotel in Hotaka tonight. And the next morning… I’ve arrived at Hotaka Station. At the bus stop for the trailhead, many hikers were already lined up. It takes about 55 minutes by bus from Hotaka Station to Nakabusa Onsen, where the trailhead is. However, as of July 2025 when I visited, the road to Nakabusa Onsen had collapsed and was closed. So the bus only went as far as Kannon Pass, just before the collapse point. I got off at Kannon Pass and walked through the damaged area on foot. The road is expected to reopen in mid-August 2025. After passing through the collapse zone, a free shuttle was waiting to take us to the trailhead. That was incredibly helpful. I’ve finally arrived at Nakabusa Onsen, the trailhead. After a long journey, the hike finally begins. There are restrooms and benches at the trailhead—perfect for getting ready. I’ll be taking the classic Kassen Ridge route up to Mt. Tsubakuro. Kassen Ridge is known as one of the “Three Great Steep Climbs” of the Northern Alps, with a tough ascent all the way to Enzanso. The trail starts off steep, so I’m taking it slow and steady. There are benches every 30 minutes along the trail, so taking frequent breaks helps a lot. Once you see the cargo lift for gear transport, the Second Bench is just around the corner. Resting and snacking every 30 minutes feels just right—helps avoid overexertion. Still, it’s over 20°C and I’m completely drenched in sweat. I keep hydrated and snack often to maintain my energy. After passing the Third Bench, white granite starts to appear along the trail. Fujimi Bench… but unfortunately, no view of Mt. Fuji today. The next rest spot after Fujimi Bench is Kassen-goya, famous for its watermelon. Honestly, I’ve been thinking about that watermelon the whole way up. Finally—I can see Kassen-goya ahead! I’m dying of thirst. I need that watermelon—now! I finally got my slice of watermelon! It’s a premium variety grown in Hata, a town at the foot of the Northern Alps. I couldn’t resist and took a bite before filming—sweet, juicy, and incredibly refreshing! All my fatigue just melted away! A slice of watermelon and a 30-minute break—and I’m totally recharged! About 90 minutes left to today’s goal: Enzanso mountain hut. Let’s keep going! After climbing a bit more, the view usually opens up—but today it’s totally fogged in. On a clear day, Kassen-zawa-no-kashira offers amazing views… not so much today. I push forward through a world of white, focusing on each step. Once the tent site comes into view, Enzanso Lodge is just ahead. It took about 4 hours from the trailhead to get here. I’ve arrived at today’s accommodation—Enzanso Mountain Lodge. Enzanso is extremely popular among hikers as a base for climbing Mt. Tsubakuro. Founded in 1921, this historic lodge has over 100 years of history. It’s loved for its surprisingly modern amenities, especially for a mountain hut. There’s running drinking water, and even clean flush toilets. Sleeping quarters are private and comfortable—unusual for a mountain lodge. Since it was lunchtime, I decided to order some curry. With so many options on the menu, it was hard to choose—but I went with the chicken Indian curry. I never expected such delicious, authentic curry at over 2,000 meters above sea level. There’s also a café where you can enjoy cake while taking in the amazing views. The weather isn’t great today, but that’s part of the mountain experience too. Tomorrow’s forecast is sunny—hopefully we’ll get some incredible scenery. After lunch, I took a short stroll around the lodge. The trail toward Mt. Tsubakuro is still foggy, so I’m debating whether to go now. Around the lodge, the alpine queen Komakusa was in full bloom. This rare flower is hard to find outside certain mountains—Tsubakuro is known for its vast colonies of Komakusa. I even spotted a rare white Komakusa—such a special treat!
