The Hotaka-dake ( Japanese. 穂 高 岳 ) is a mountain range in the Hida Mountains of the Japanese Alps , which runs on the border of the Nagano and Gifu prefectures . The highest point of the mountain , the Okuhotaka-dake, is at 3,190  m after the Fuji and the Kita-dake the third highest peak in Japan .

The first summit of the chain was the Myōjin-dake by William Gowland in 1880. In 1893 Kiyohiko Tate managed to climb the Maehotaka, in 1906 Gunji Abe climbed the Okuhotaka.

In 1934 the Hotaka-dake became part of the Chūbu-Sangaku National Park. The most important starting point for mountain tours is the hamlet of Kamikōchi belonging to the city of Matsumoto .
