🌟 Comments

Yashajin Pass is a viewpoint in the Southern Alps foothills where you can see the Shirane Three Mountains directly in front of you.

Although the altitude is not very high,
you can feel the main peaks of the Southern Alps up close.

Watching the ridgeline in the morning glow,
I am reminded once again of the silence and grandeur of the mountains.

It makes me want to come back to the mountains again to see this scenery.
