This area is in Minami Alps National Park that was established on June 1, 1964.[1] This mountain is also one of the "200 Famous Japanese Mountains". There is no general mountain climbing trail. Therefore, it is difficult to climb it. There is the shelter Mountain hut ("6th Stone-Hut") between this mountain and Mount Kaikoma. The hut that became superannuated was rebuilt in 2006.
It is on the main ridge line in the northern edge of the Akaishi Mountains.
