6 peaks
The Kiso Range — known as the Central Alps — runs north-south through southern Nagano. Its highest peak is Kiso-Komagatake (2,956 m), with Hōken-dake, Utsugi-dake, Minami-Komagatake, Hinoki'o-dake and Kosumo-yama strung along a compact but sharp ridgeline.
The Komagatake Ropeway lifts hikers in minutes to the 2,612 m Senjōjiki Cirque, making this one of Japan's most accessible high-alpine areas. The range works well as an introductory high-mountain destination — yet still offers serious traverses such as Utsugi → Minami-Koma → Kosumo. Designated as Chūō Alps Quasi-National Park.
