Japan's 100 Famous Mountains 日本百名山

Le répertoire du relief japonais

Les "100 montagnes célèbres du Japon" sont une liste de montagnes de l'archipel établie par l'écrivain et alpiniste japonais Kyûya Fukada en 1964 dans le livre du même nom, pour lequel il obtint le prix Yomiuri de la biographie. Bien que l'auteur ne chercha pas à fixer une liste exhaustive des montagnes les plus significatives du pays, son répertoire devint incontournable dans les décennies suivantes.

The fruit of a long experience

 

Japan's 100 Famous Mountains are the culmination of a lifetime of climbing experience. Indeed, Kyûya Fukada began in 1940, when he was only 37 years old, with a series of articles for the magazine Yamagoya, whose title was already "Hyaku meizan" ("the 100 famous mountains"). A total of twenty will be published before the Second World War interrupts the editions.

After the war, Kyûya Fukada continued his journeys in the mountains, and it was after already more than 200 ascents that he published 1959 the magazine Yama to Kôgen a new series of articles on the Japanese mountains, which culminated in his book 1964 bestseller.

The Influence of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains

 

Very quickly, this list overtook its author to, with the boom in hiking activity in Japan, become a must for all hiking fans. Thus Crown Prince Naruhito, a mountaineering fan, would like to reach the top of each of the listed mountains.

Climbing all of these peaks as quickly as possible has even become the subject of records, the latest being 48 days.
