Mount Nōtori (農鳥岳, Nōtori-dake^?), or Nōtoridake, is one of the major peaks in the Akaishi Mountains, along with Mount Kita and Mount Aino. The 3,026 m (9,928 ft) peak^[2] lies to the south of the other mountains, spanning the town of Hayakawa in Yamanashi Prefecture and Aoi-ku in the city of Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Geography

The top of the mountain is divided into two peaks. The southeastern peak, known as Mount Nōtori, is 3,026 m (9,928 ft), while the northwestern peak, known as Mount Nishinōtori (西農鳥岳, Nishinōtori-dake^?), is 3,051 m (10,010 ft).^[2] It is located in the Minami Alps National Park^[3].

The main mountains of the Akaishi Mountains are Mount Kitadake, Mount Aino and Mount Nōtori. The three mountains together are called "Shiranesanzan" (白根三山, Shiranesanzan^?), which means "three white summits".

Mountain huts

The major mountain huts on the mountain are the Nōtori Huts (農鳥小屋, Nōtori Goya^?) at the base of Mount Nishinōtori. Slightly further down the mountain are the Daimonzawa Huts (大門沢小屋, Daimonzawa Goya^?).
