From the summit of Okuhotaka-dake to Gens d'armes

Gens d'armes1 is a place on the bucket list who loves hike in Japanese Northern Alps. Of course for me. It’s dangerous but it doesn’t matter. I left my backpack at the summit of Okuhotaka-dake2 and Let’s go!


  1. ジャンダルム(じゃんだるむ). Gens d'armes comes from french. It means a military policeman. This peak is in the way to Okuhotaka-dake and it is hard to pass once upon a time, so it became to be called Gens d'armes. Now it’s not hard just pass Gens d’arme. ↩
  2. 奥穂高岳(おくほたかだけ). “奥” is the meaning of the inner part or the depth. One of the mountain which consists of Hotaka-dake(穂高岳). It is the highest peak in Hotaka-dake and what’s more, it is the highest mountain in Northern Japanese Alps, and the forth highest mountain in Japan. ↩
