Hidaka Mountains
The 1151st highest mountain range in the world
The Hidaka Mountains (Hidaka-sanmyaku) are a mountain range in southeastern Hokkaido, Japan. It runs 150 km (93 mi) from Mount Sahoro or Karikachi Pass in central Hokkaidō south, running into the sea at Cape Erimo. It consists of folded mountains that range from 1,500 to 2,000 m (4, 921 to 6, 562 ft) in height. Mount Poroshiri is the highest at 2,053 m (6, 736 ft). The Hidaka Mountains separate the subprefectures of Hidaka and Tokachi. Most of the range lies in the Hidakasanmyaku-Erimo-Tokachi National Park (Hidaka-sanmyaku-Erimo-Tokachi Kokuritsu-kōen). Since the mountain range lies so far north, the alpine climate zone lies at a lower altitude.
