■About the "Mountain and Plateau Map" Publication

The "Mountain and Plateau Map" series is a long-selling series of mountain maps originating from the "Mountain Map" published in 1965.

For each product, mountain professionals familiar with the area conduct on-site surveys, and based on these results, the series is revised annually. It has gained stable popularity as Japan's only nationwide mountain map series.

With its reliable information, easy-to-read maps, display of course times and dangerous areas, comprehensive access information and appendices, and use of water-resistant paper, it has earned a reputation as an essential map for mountaineering and has established itself as a safe and reliable map brand. ~Examples of our commitment to quality~

* To ensure usability even in rainy weather, the map is made of water-resistant paper that won't tear easily when wet.

* A "varnish coating" is applied to prevent ink bleeding.

* The assigned writer, who is intimately familiar with the mountain, actually walks and surveys the site.

* The difficulty of the hiking course is indicated by color, solid/dashed lines, and estimated course times.

* Packed with information useful for safe and secure hiking, such as mountain huts, water sources, dangerous areas, places where you might get lost, and landmarks.

* Includes advice for enjoying hiking, such as points of interest for viewing flowers and alpine plants, and scenic viewpoints.

* The accompanying booklet is packed with information that couldn't fit on the map, such as the origin and overview of the mountain's name, weather in the mountain area, characteristics of animals and plants, and recommended courses.

■ Covered Area

* Includes hiking maps from the book "Mountain and Plateau Map".

(Some enlarged maps, surrounding area maps, and information from booklets are not included.)
