Mountain Climbing Life VOL 698: First-Order Triangulation Point in the Prefecture, Mt. Nagaura

2025年8月26日 06:49

I have been looking back on my mountain diary, which I started recording on September 23, 1969, on my blog for the past four years. This series, 'Mountain Climbing Life,' is now in its third year.
I am 59 years old, and this is my final year as an active worker.
It has been 39 years since I started mountain climbing, and I have reached my 900th mountain trip.
I have been fixated on the 100 Famous Mountains of Kyushu and first-order triangulation points.
I had already climbed all first-order triangulation points at altitudes of 500m or higher, but I planned to climb all of them within the prefecture.
There are 22 first-order triangulation points in Nagasaki Prefecture: 11 main points and 11 auxiliary points.
There were three unclimbed peaks on the mainland, and this time I climbed Mt. Funaishi and aimed for Mt. Nagaura as well.

Order of climbing first-order triangulation points in the prefecture

No. 906 Mt. Funaishi and Mt. Nagaura

August 30, 2008, Solo

12th peak in the prefecture, Mt. Nagaura (Point name: Nagaura-mura), 560.77m, Main point
The location is 32 degrees 54 minutes 48 seconds North latitude and 129 degrees 44 minutes 41 seconds East longitude.

There is a Ministry of Defense facility near the entrance to the Prefectural Forest of Mt. Nagaura.
Mt. Nagaura is located about 200m north of there in a straight line.
The problem is the path.
I was prepared for thickets, but
my intuition was spot on, and I found a trail.

From around here, I crossed the guardrail and went into the mountain.

After that, it was easy to reach the summit of Mt. Nagaura.

The round trip didn't even take 20 minutes.

The entire area of Mt. Nagaura is maintained as a Prefectural Forest, and the Iwasedo Valley, which has Mt. Nagaura as its water source, is a convenient valley for playing in the stream, which I visited 13 years later.

We stayed overnight at the Prefectural Forest West Gate parking lot and had a great time.

I went to play there again this July. No. 1611 Mountain Trip

The only unclimbed first-order triangulation point on the mainland in the prefecture is Mt. Atago (291m) in Kuchinotsu. There are 9 points remaining on remote islands.

I thought, 'Let's climb them like a trip,' but as of now, I haven't visited them.
