is a 1,977m mountain on the border of Gunma Prefecture and Niigata Prefecture in Japan. It is one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. As of December 2014, since its initial exploration and route-finding in the early 1930s, a total of 805 people have died on Tanigawa-dake.〔http://soka-yamanokai.com/study/study18.html〕〔日本医科大学雑誌第１２巻第９号別冊 昭和１６年発行〕〔東京緑山岳会編「谷川岳の岩場」 昭和４９年発行〕 (Compare with the over 200 people who have died on Mt. Everest over a comparable period). ==Routes== Routes are graded according to the Japanese Ice Climbing Rating from I-VI and there are numerous routes along the Eastern Ridges, with significant rock routes for summer climbing. Although the mountain is 1800 metres shorter than Mt. Fuji (in fact barely half its height), the relief is stark, with some routes starting as low as at 500 metres above sea level and topping out at or near the summit. Like many mountains in Japan there is no officially recorded first ascent. Many mountains enjoy a religious significance and have been hiked and summitted by Japanese religious ascetics for hundreds of years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Tanigawa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
