再遊英雄地South Japan Alps (南アルプス)上的奮戰Part 1 - 奮戰前傳South Japan Alps x Rickie之緣起
首先,得向一眾朋友blog友致歉:小blog已經有一段時間沒有定期更新了!這段期間,除了工作繁重擾人,還發生了幾件“大事”:由於Yahoo Blog全球關閉,小blog將會從Yahoo平台(http://blog.yahoo.com/rickiekwong.blog/articles/page/1) 搬遷到Blogger平台(http://rickiekwong.blogspot.hk/ ),而舊的Yahoo Blog將會於2013年12月26日關閉(http://rickiekwong.blogspot.hk/2013/09/yahoo-blogbloggerblog.html) ,完成她的歷史任務。 執筆至此, 必須再次至誠感激好心重金屬師兄Alex及Leslie之仗義慷慨幫忙,搬blog一事才有著落。 雖然搬blog算是初步完成,但新blog中網誌的web-links未update,網誌分類還出現混亂;我會努力尋找方法解決處理,還望諸君包容理解。 第2件“大事”拖慢小blog更新的,是每年11月的Oxfam Trailwalker(樂施毅行者) (http://rickiekwong.blogspot.hk/2013/10/team-5004team-184-oxfam-trailwalker.html)的賽前密集操練;尤幸,自己終於從磨人的雙腳肌肉深層疲勞中復元過來了!第3件“大事” ,就是blog主終於在 7 – 29 September 2013間完成N. America & Japan Trip 2013之Part 2獨自遨遊日本(Japan) 的旅程。是的,我終於回來了!
煩氣,但也必須再次一題:我在日本期間,Alex及Leslie幫忙做了所有複雜煩瑣的搬blog工作,讓小blog得以繼續! 大恩在此再次謝過!

回歸正傳,剛完成的日本之旅(Japan Trip 2013)相信肯定是in all those travelling years的另外一趟經典旅程,小blog一定會陸續跟諸君分享! 在這23天的旅程之中,我從本州(Honshu)東京(Tokyo) 出發,最後西進到四國(Shikoku)松山(Matsuyama) ,旅程豐富之餘也是一趟“構思四年,籌備半載” 的非常特別 “圓夢”之旅! 怎樣“圓夢” ? 請容許我慢慢分享。
日本雖然是in all those travelling years (as of 2013) 我最喜愛的遊歷地,但畢竟世界是太大,對上一次漫遊日本本土,已是四年前的Japan Trip 2009了(http://rickiekwong.blogspot.hk/2011/03/japan-trip-2009-part-1.html)! Japan Trip 2009是一趟經典壯闊之旅,其中,我以7天時間獨自完成North Japan Alps(北アルプス)立山劍岳縱走(Tate-yama (3,015m) and Tsurugi-dake (2,999m)) (http://rickiekwong.blogspot.hk/2011/05/japan-trip-2009-part-1.html)及日本最高峰富士山(Mt. Fuji)(3,776m) (http://rickiekwong.blogspot.hk/2011/04/japan-trip-2004-2009-mt-fuji-part-1.html)之歷煉可堪一世回味!Japan Alps之山路崎嶇險峻難行,是日本登山者的“英雄地” ,以劍岳最為兇險,她也是全日本發生致命山難最高的山峰! 2009年,我有緣有幸完成立山劍岳縱走,於險峰之上見識到非一般的無限風光,成為日本人口中的“がいじん mountaineer (外国人登山者)” ! 然而,榮譽背後,我一直非常敬畏這片“英雄地”, 更於這些年間有一個疑問:“究竟當年造訪North Japan Alps,雖然探索世界熱誠之心無用懷疑,但獨闖Japan Alps絕對是“a very serious undertaking”,是真的經過周詳考慮而去決定這趟ego-challenge,還是根本未完全了解Japan Alps的凶險才有這種“愚勇” 之決定?” 我懼怕Japan Alps的凶險但又同時惦記她的風光,更想找到纏繞心中多時的問題答案 - 方法只得一個:“下次遊歷日本,如果可以,在安全的大原則下(Safety is always by overriding concern),重返Japan Alps這片“英雄地” !” 4年之後,再次用心翻閱Lonely Planet – Hiking in Japan,多少有點激動!

簡單點,Japan Alps幅員廣闊,主要分座落於北部近日本海(Japan Sea)的中部山岳國立公園(Chubu-sangaku National Park)的North Japan Alps(北アルプス),及座落於南部近太平洋(Pacific Ocean)的南アルプス國立公園(Minami Alps National Park ) 的South Japan Alps (南アルプス) 。立山劍岳座落於North Japan Alps(北アルプス),以美麗山中的溫泉登山基地Murodo (室堂) 為基地。廣為一般遊客認識的立山黑部也是在North Japan Alps的範圍。 既然North Japan Alps的highlights立山劍岳已經遊歷過,今趟應遊South Japan Alps。 根據Lonely Planet,South Japan Alps要比North Japan Alps更偏僻,交通更不發達,更不為外人所認識,就連Lonely Planet - Japan也完全沒有介紹南アルプス國立公園的這片應闊土地!約1年多前左右,摯友兼日本通的英國人Dave分享他於South Japan Alps中健行之遊歷,登上了日本第2高峰的北岳(Kita-dake)(3,193m) 等高峰,也能從一個極漂亮的角度去欣賞我所喜愛的富士山。 我認為有趣,可以放手一搏,便著手研究。
Lonely Planet – Hiking in Japan 對South Japan Alps登山路線之介紹,是一條非常簡單但路途遙遠由北端的広河原(Hirogowara)登山基地(1,500m)到達南端的椹島登山基地(1,100m) (Sawara-Jima/サワラ島)的Full South Japan Alps縱走之6天路線,橫越6座日本的20大最高峰,全程78km。 就這條路線,我在網上做了大量research,更從日本郵寄了有關的日本登山地圖由昭文社出版的<山と高原地図 No. 41 - 北岳・甲斐駒 2013>及<山と高原地図 No. 42 - 塩見・赤石・聖岳 2013>認真研究路線。 經仔細衡量,又考慮行程日數與交通安排等各種因素後,我決定接受South Japan Alps縱走之挑戰,但會於Day 5走short-cut免去Day 6 翻越日本第21高峰的聖岳(Hijiri-dake) (3,013m)之路段,以5天時間完成縱走路線,終點依然是南端的椹島登山基地。

從日本第七高峰的赤石岳(Akaishi-dake)(3,120m)上回望South Japan Alps縱走(南アルプス)
我的South Japan Alps登山計劃,將會是整趟Japan Trip 2013的第一個行程,也是第一個“高潮”位,先於東京(Tokyo)整休一夜,翌日一早出發乘JR經山梨縣甲府駅(Kofu)轉乘山區巴士再到South Japan Alps北端的広河原(Hirogowara)登山基地(1,500m) ,再於広河原渡過一夜(Pre-Day) 。 然後,為期5天的South Japan Alps縱走之旅正式展開,先後預計翻越日本第二高峰的北岳(Kita-dake)(3,193m) (Day 1)、第四高峰間ノ岳(Ai-no dake)(3,189m) (Day 2)、第十六高峰塩見岳(Shiomi-dake)(3,047m) (Day 3)、第十三高峰荒川中岳(Naka-dake)(3,084m) (Day 4)及第七高峰的赤石岳(Akaishi-dake)(3,120m) (Day 5) ,以及沿途其他約10個2,500m – 3,000m高度之間的山峰,終點是South Japan Alps南端的椹島登山基地 (Sawara-Jima/サワラ島) (1,100m)。由於9月已非Japan Alps登山旺季,身處山區in the middle of nowhere的椹島再無巴士返回山下的靜岡(Shizuoka) ,但通過email之聯繫,椹島工作人員可幫我預約一程Yen 20,300的接駁的士回到靜岡駅(JR Shizuoka) 。 Yen 20,300的接駁的士雖然昂貴,但却令整趟solo South Japan Alps縱走之旅變得實際可行,值得! 我也想若能搭上此接駁的士將會是非常開心的事,因代表我能平安順利的完成縱走之旅了!
Rickie @ Keisei Skyliner (京城電鐵), 東京 (Tokyo). South Japan Alps縱走之旅前夕,充滿了擔心…
有了North Japan Alps的經驗,我知道South Japan Alps縱走之旅的艱辛凶險肯定非比尋常!根據出發前的research,雖然South Japan Alps縱走之最“technical” 之難度應較劍岳上的鐵鍊鋼梯為低,但整體之難度、變數與費力程度絕不比立山劍岳縱走遜色,甚至更甚!至少,立山劍岳縱走只要2.5 - 3天,可South Japan Alps縱走需要5個full days,而Days 3 - 5預計要健行至少9hrs以上! 雖然充滿著種種的艱險,但經過仔細的研究,依然覺得在安全的大原則下是切實可行;計劃雖然周詳,雖明知箇中仍有極多不能控制之因素,但我亦要相信天主及聖母的保守與同行、諸位巨山美人予我的偏愛與垂憐,以及一己探索世界之熱誠與能力呀!
就是這樣,我決定重返“英雄地”,South Japan Alps縱走之旅就此決定!

其時,是大概在2013年6月左右,距離出發升空還有3個月。 然而,在這3個月間又發生了兩件事,令South Japan Alps縱走之旅蒙上了一層不安的陰影,但却對旅程心態之影響又是意想不到…
師兄我今年都想去爬南阿爾卑斯,但係行李方面你係點處理?
回覆刪除Thanks for your visit ah! 你要將行李留在城市 (for example Tokyo),只帶day-pack出發,因為你不會回走 -椹島登山基地距離広河原極遠! At my time, I left my luggage in Tokyo and just brought the day-pack with me in which you need to be prepared for a 7-days-7-nights long journey - Day 1 from Tokyo to 広河原, Day 2 - 6 for hiking, and Day 7 from 椹島登山基地 back to Tokyo!
刪除What is yr plan?
雖然未實際plan 好,但係我預計都係同師兄你既路綫差唔多但係分7-8 日左右. 睇官網個邊山屋好似唔洗book?
刪除No need to book, please you need to check whether they are open or not as some of them will be closed in off season. When will you go?
刪除Assuming you do the same 5-days route, you can break my very tough Day 3 into 2 days. That is you spend 1 more night in 塩見小屋, and then 2nd day from 塩見小屋 to 三伏峰小屋 (or if you have sleeping bag gear, can stay in 高山裹避難小屋 but bearing in mind 高山裹避難小屋 has no supply). That will make your life much easier!
By the way, you go alone or what? I assume you are experienced as the route is demanding. Good luck!!
By the way, if you go alone. Highly recommended you inform someone in Japan (such as your stayed hotel) your trekking itinerary in some details, especially what is your expected time to return. This is to ensure that someone will start rescue process if you hv encountered dangerous on the mountain. I trust you have read my blog so you should have known that the trail covered in my Days 3 and 4 could be very very quiet..
刪除超級多謝師兄先,我個邊4個人去,大約7月尾八月頭左右去啦,而家做緊research見到師兄你個blog,師兄真係好強,同埋個邊會唔會好似富士山甘收到信號?
刪除4個人去,good! 有照應! July - Aug is trekking peak season in Japan, so you can reasonably expect the trail would have more local hikers and all mountain huts are open. You may also find 高山裹避難小屋 has something to sell as I note that there should be keeper to station and sell supplies during peak season, but dont rely on that as it is a very small mountain hut! The only thing you need to concern is that popular mountain huts may be full during high season especially you have 4 people. So, bring a light sleeping bag would be the back-up plan.
刪除South Japan Alps is far more rural than Mt. Fuji, so expecting no tel. signal unless you are in mountain hut area. Needless to say, no need to bring wi-fi egg, I tried, no signal at all!!
超級多謝提醒 甘即係要帶埋cookset 同 camp 去?
刪除um... 如果只住高山裹避難小屋一晚,其餘住我blog裡所記的其他山屋,suggest 不帶cock set,一切輕便為主! South Japan Alps每天都行得好甘,重裝真係好辛苦!高山裹避難小屋那晚挨一晚power bars、乾糧la :)
刪除甘又係輕得1g得1g 話説我見到佢地山屋有話600yen 露營 佢既意思係咪要自己帶埋營定係佢地會提供?
刪除山屋大多提供一泊(睡床位)二食服務 或simply准你在屋外露營(Yen 600 or so) 。 我全程一泊二食。 Also, you can also buy lunch box (便當) from mountain huts everyday as 行動糧! However, be reminded, only lunch box as 行動糧 would probably not be enough to survive for every long hiking day in South Japan Alp.s To my memory, during each day of 9 - 10hrs almost non-stop hiking on the South Japan Alps (ie. Days 3, 4 and 5), besides the lunch box (便當), i had 2- 3 power bars and 2 power gels as 行動糧.
