Mount Norikura rises to 3,026 meters at its main peak, Kengamine, and holds twenty-three peaks and seven ponds. Seven stories follow the southernmost volcano of the Northern Alps: a mountain made of two overlapping volcanoes, the names its peaks have kept, the flowers and ptarmigan beyond the tree line, the bus that climbs a road the army built, an observatory that never stopped watching the Sun, and a summit with a shrine that people have climbed to for more than eight hundred years.
