Elevation gains, hike distance, budget and mountain huts. Every week I am faced with the struggle of finding the next mountain to hike, as each mountain requires a varying degree of planning and I realize that I’ve been going back and forth, confirming details again and again. And again.
So I figured I better summarize them, including mountains I haven’t hiked, and hopefully others can make use of it too. I use google sheets, and update it whenever I can. But here’s what I have for now (just 17! haha. Boy, this is a LOT of work).
*PS, if you have a mountain you want to hike that’s not here, just lemme know and I can probably prioritize drafting a plan for that...or telling you that’s a no-no haha.
As a guide, here are what the symbols mean:

Thanks for this resource. Really helpful ^^

ReplyDeleteHi Thanks for such a wonderful information. Surprised why Mount Mitake, or Mount Hinode are not present in this database. or did i miss it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hinode at 102. :)
DeleteIs it possible to have the mountains sorted in Descending order ie showing the tallest mountains first ? Have you hiked Mt Aino in Yamanashi ...this mountain is next to Mt Kita (2nd tallest) ?
DeleteIs it possible to have the Google sheet sorted in Descending order starting with the tallest mountain ? Have you climbed Mt Aino in Yamanashi .. this is next to Mt Kita (2nd tallest)?
ReplyDeleteI could, but I don't do the hikes by elevation. You can check the list here if you want by elevation : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mountains_and_hills_of_Japan_by_height
Deleteyes, I have done Aino, which is close to Kita.
Extremely great database, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to get the filters working. I want to be able to filter the view to something like.. Only show hikes from Tokyo where I can camp. Is it possible to set up the Sheet to make filtering possible?
