The Mountain Name 🏔 Omachi City has enjoyed several sunny days recently, and daytime temperatures have been relatively warm for this season☀️ The mountains look striking against the blue sky🏔 The mountain range visible from Omachi City is officially the Hida Mountains, commonly called the Northern Alps. From the Toyama Prefecture side it lies behind the Tateyama Range, so it is also referred to as the Ushered Tateyama Range (Ushiro-Tateyama Range)😌 Personally, it seems that the informal name "Northern Alps" has gained popular acceptance among residents on the Omachi side😊 ⭐️Official website "Shinano Omachi Navi"⭐️ https://kanko-omachi.gr.jp//

The amount of remaining snow varies by area in Nagawacho⛄ Even though these photos were taken on the same day (January 21, 2025), the difference is striking📷 Photo 1: Himekidaira Photo 2: Nagakubo Himekidaira sits at about 1,300 m and Nagakubo about 650 m, so the difference in elevation makes sense, but it still surprises me😂
