● A superb view, Heaven of an alpine plant and the "mountain where it may be close, Tanigawa-dake

The highest peak and Tanigawadake in a mountain stream chain of mountains where it's lofty so that Gunma and Niigata may be separated. The old days brought deep concerning with people as an attracted mountain of a climber aiming at the steep height from the front for about 100 years as the mountain of worship at which Jin lodges. Casualness which is to the extent even "Tenjin Toge Station" of about 1500 m of altitude makes connetions and can go on "Tanigawa-dake ropeway" and "Tenjintouge matching lift" in about 30 minutes at present. It's also popular tourist attraction in a family layer as well as a mountaineering visitor.

The form of the gallant mountain with 2 tops like an ear of a cat that the feature of the cityscape of Tanigawa-dake is called an ear of OKI (altitude 1,977m) and Thomas's ear (the said 1,963m). The heavy snow which falls at the Sea of Japan side is transferred by strong wind, and I can think the steep form of a mountain was formed out of estimating opposite to the mountain and shaving a surface of a mountain. The favor by which it's also this severe environment that usual can meet the valuable plant seen only at a mountain of more than 2000 m of altitude. It's also a convinced famous mountain that a snowy valley keeps being loved with "the mountain where it may be close" from people at the natural treasure house which was brought up in a produced clear stream.
