Mt. Tanigawa-dake is a rocky mountain, the highest peak in the Mikuni Mountain Range that soars high above the border between Gunma and Niigata Prefectures at an elevation of 1,977m. As it is located in an area famous for its heavy snowfall, snow remains a long time before melting, creating abundant mountain streams. Because of the harsh climate, the tree line is at an elevation in the vicinity of 1,500m, and alpine plants can be observed at relatively low elevations, making this one of the best attractions of the area.
Also, "Ichinokura-sawa" is a ravine carved into the north side of Mt. Tanigawa-dake, and is one of the few rock cliffs in Japan, ranking among the country's top three rock walls.
Stretching out in front of the eyes at an overwhelming scale, the rock face is an absolute must-see! The road leading up to "Ichinokura-sawa" is surrounded by Japanese beech trees and is easy to walk. Here you can enjoy "forest bathing" and trekking. Those who dislike walking or who have young children can go to Tenjindaira Station using the "Mt. Tanigawa-dake Ropeway." From there, Tenjintoge Station is only moments away by the ropeway! The view from there is absolutely breathtaking!
