100 Famous Japanese Mountains

The 100 Famous Japanese Mountains (日本百名山, Nihon Hyakumeizan) are a list of 100 mountains in Japan picked by mountaineer Kyuya Fukada. Choosing the best 100 mountains is a very subjective endeavour and so I wouldn't say that this is the definitive list, but climbing is more fun with a goal in mind so like many other Japanese hikers, I'm aiming to climb all of them!

To date, I've climbed 45/100. The below posts are sorted by the date I climbed them.
