Nt. Nagiso-dake 南木曾岳 (Nagano Prefecture)
Mt. Nagiso is a small mountain located in the Central Alps. It lacks the alpine feel of some of the other hikes in the area such as Utsugi-dake and Kiso Koma ga Take, but nonetheless is a pretty decent hike. It sees very little foot traffic and has good views over Mt. Ena and onto Mt. Ontake. Some nice easy rock scrambling and some precarious bridges.

Despite being labelled as ruins of a fort, there is literally nothing remaining. It is just a hill with a minor view of the town of Akechi. Don't expect too much. The hike is also a bit confusing.
