Mt. Eboshidake is the 80th mountain in Shinshu Furusato 120, which is exactly two-thirds of the total.After exiting Matsukawa IC, turn left at the first intersection, and after about 2 km, you will find a guide board to the trailhead of Mt.Eboshidake and Mt.Kohachiroudake.Turn left there and follow the guidepost on a forest road paved for about 4.5 km to reach the parking lot of Hatouchi Pass.It's a fairly large parking lot, so it's unlikely that it will be full. The trailheads of Mt. Eboshidake and Mt. Kohachiroudake are on the left and right of the information board, and the left side is a little steep and merges ahead.I can climb to Kohachirodake in just over 30 minutes, and from there, the Panorama of the Southern Alps will unfold.At the summit of the mountain is Kochiro Katagiri's spirit monument and hut.Ina valley can be seen below, with Mt.Eboshidake, which is about to climb, up close.It's a mountain that you can easily climb in a hiking mood.
After getting off there for a while, I met a direct route to the Mt.Eboshidake.That is the 3/10 stage of Mt.Eboshidake.From there, take the easy-to-walk ridge road in the field of bamboo grass, and after passing a small peak about twice, you will reach Iijima route branch.The sign indicated that the uphill was 170 minutes and the downhill was 130 minutes.Proceeding for a while from there, you will pass a place where the left side has collapsed significantly.It takes 30 minutes from 3/10 stage to 5/10 stage, 48 minutes to 6/10 stage, 85 minutes to 8/10 stage, and the pace gradually drops.Is it due to the influence of running about 20km the day before? From the stage of 8/10, the slope becomes steeper and the breath becomes more and more rough.While stopping occasionally, I finally arrived under the Eboshi lock.Carefully climb i tired legs and climb the fairly steep Eboshi Rock.There is a relatively wide space on the rock, and the view of the Southern Alps from there is spectacular.There is nothing to block, and the Akaishi Mountains are connected from north to south with Ina Valley as the back.After enjoying the spectacular view for a while and doing the last effort, you will reach the Mt.Eboshidake summit .A massif in the Central Alps, which was not visible on Eboshi Rock, appeared in front of me.Mt. Utsugidake and Mt. Minamikomagatake, which are covered with snow, are connected to the ridge from Ina Valley and approach with overwhelming power.Three people had already climbed here.Since I met 5 people on the way, there are 9 climbers today.Hear stories about the Central Alps and nearby mountains from a mountaineer living in Iijima Town.The view was so good that I talked for about 40 minutes.My legs have recovered a little, so I started descending with the mountaineer.Look back at the Southern Alps again at Eboshi Rock.I will accompany you while talking until the 3/10 stage.I will stay here for about 15 minutes as a break. When I start walking ahead of him, I soon leave him.It took about two and a half hours to reach the parking lot at Hatouchi Pass, and it was almost a standard time to descend.I hurried home without waiting for him who accompanied me halfway.
