Mount Tsubakuro (燕岳, Tsubakuro-dake) is a 2,763-metre-high (9,065 ft) mountain in Azumino, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is situated in Japan's Hida Mountains in Nagano Prefecture. It was specified for[clarification needed] Chūbu-Sangaku National Park on December 4, 1934.[3] Granite forms the unique body with white sands and sharp rocks exposed at the top.

Mountain hut[edit]
The mountain climbing trail between Mount Tsubakuro and Mount Yari is called Main Street (表銀座, Omote-Ginza) owing to its extensive use over time. It has two mountain huts along the way. Tsubakuro mountain cottage (燕山荘, Enzansō) is near the summit and is one of the oldest mountain huts in Japan, completed in 1921.[4]
