2026 Tanigawadake Mountain Opening: The Season Begins Amidst Grand Nature and History

Lights before dawn, prayers echoing in the mountains, and the sunrise slowly painting the sky. On Sunday, July 5, 2026, we will hold the 'Tanigawadake Mountain Opening' to signal the start of the summer season. This year, the special JR East 'Limited Express Tanigawadake Mountain Opening' train will run again. A special day for mountain lovers begins once more. We will host numerous events, including a safety prayer ceremony, early morning ropeway operations, limited events near the summit, the sound of alphorns echoing through Ichinokurasawa, and special nature programs. Whether you are a climber or just want to enjoy nature, you can experience the 'start of summer at Tanigawadake' in your own way. July 2nd is 'Tanigawadake Day,' commemorating the first ascent in 1920. Why not start your summer season at Mt. Tanigawa this year?
