Mount Tsurugi (剱岳, Tsurugi-dake) is a mountain located in the eastern area of Toyama Prefecture, Japan. It is one of the tallest peaks in the Hida Mountains at 2,999 m (9,839 ft). It is one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains, and is called "the most dangerous mountain" climbable.
Tsurugi has a number of routes which approach world class long routes. It is recognised in Japan as "the" premiere mountaineering peak in winter. Although dangerous, its death toll is a small fraction of those who have died on Japan's much smaller, but more lethal Tanigawa-dake.
The earliest first ascent of Mt. Tsurugidake was by Ikuta Nobu in 1907. However, upon reaching the summit, Ikuta discovered a rusted iron sword and staff. Upon investigation, the sword was thought to have belonged to a monk about 1,000 years ago.
