Abstract: The geology, topology, fauna, and flora of the alpine and subalpine zone between Mitsumatarenge-dake and Eboshi-dake in Toyama city were researched. Volcanic landforms such as the volcanic lake of Washiba-ike, the lava plateau of Kumonotaira, and andesite with platy joint at Warimo-dake were recognized. Cirques in the east slope of Suisho-dake (Kuro-dake) and a horseshoe-shaped moraine of Noguchigoro-dake were recognized as glacial landforms. Periglacial landforms such as sorted steps and block field of granite, which were formed by freezing and melting of ground water under cold climate, were found on the slopes along the mountain ridges. Birds such as spotted nutcracker and alpine accentor were observed on the ridge of Yumiori-dake and Noguchigoro-dake. And more than 1100 plant distribution data were extracted from the photographs with Exif information.
