Minami Alps National Park (Shizuoka, Yamanashi, Nagano)

Tectonic upheavals forced the land upward to form the three main mountain ranges of the park, which are the Mount Kai-komagatake and the Houou Sanzan mountains in the north, the Akaishi mountains in the south, and the Shirane Sanzan mountains in between. As the mountains lie on the southernmost point among the Japan Alps, the area receives much rain in the summer and less snow in the winter. It is also characterized by several deep V-shaped valleys formed by river channel erosion due to abundant rainfall, and owing to a light snowfall, the altitude of the timberline is high, and the vicinity of the ridges are covered in forests. Renowned for the trace remnants of the southernmost glacier of japan, it also features glacial and periglacial landforms formed about 20.000 years ago throughout the alpine belt. Several cirques (valleys formed by glacial erosion) still remain near Mt. Senjogatake, and Arakawasanzan is one of them.
