Mt. Kisokomagatake 木曽駒ケ岳 + Mt. Houkendake 宝剣岳 (Central Alps, Nagano Prefecture)
One of the most underated parts of the Japanese alps. The central alps is unbelieviably beautiful, if someone blindfolded you and told you were somewhere in Europe, it would be entirely believable. The hike is very straight forward, it can be combined with a multiday hike and other nearby peaks such as Houkendake.
