->''"It may have been hard, but it was a lot of fun. I want to experience more of these feelings."''
--> –Aoi Nakamura
When Aoi Nakamura enters high school, she envisions herself participating in a variety of indoors activities such as knitting; having been injured from falling off a jungle gym some years previously, Aoi developed acrophobia and shies away from outdoors activities. However, on the first day of school, Aoi is reunited with her childhood friend, Hinata Kuraue, who persuades Aoi to accompany her on her mountain-climbing excursions. While Aoi is initially reluctant to participate, Hinata's insistence prompts Aoi to follow her on a short hike up a local hill, where she rediscovers the joys of mountain-climbing and recalls that as children, she'd seen a sunrise from the summit of a mountain and had promised to do so again with Hinata. Besides familiarising themselves with a range of skills and acquiring the necessary equipment for climbing mountains, Hinata and Aoi also encounter new friends in Kaede Saitou and Kokona Aoba on their journey. Together, they set out to explore and conquer the mountains of Japan, with the goal of one day fulfilling their promise to one another.
''Yama no Susume'' (ヤマノススメ, ''Encouragement of Climb'') is a slice-of-life manga written and illustrated by Shiro. It was serialised in Earth Star Entertainment's Comic Earth Star magazine in 2011 and received an anime adaptation during the Winter2013Anime season, portraying Aoi and Hinata's reunion, their first excursions and meetings with Kaede and Kokona in three minute long episodes. A second season aired during the Summer2014Anime, consisting of twenty-four episodes that last fifteen minutes each, and during the summer of 2018, a third season aired. Owing to licensing issues, only the first and third seasons are available for watching on Crunchyroll. As of September 2019, a new anime project for ''Yama no Susume'' was announced during an autumn festival.

!!''Yama no Susume'' provides examples of:
* BaitAndSwitch: The fifteenth episode in the second season initially suggests that Kaede's old friend, Yuuka, was dead, through use of imagery and melancholy incidental music, but it turns out that Yuuka's alive and well.
* BarelyThereSwimwear: When Aoi goes shopping for a new swimsuit ahead of Hinata's pool party, she finds a series of increasingly revealing swimsuits, culminating in her exclaiming that some swimsuit that cannot be seen before realising it's an unused hanger.
* {{Bookends}}:
** After her [[spoiler: failure to ascend Mount Fuji]] during the second season, Aoi decides to climb Mount Tenran again and is surprised to discover how straightforward it was. This is the first mountain that she and Hinata had climbed together after reuniting with one another.
** The second season's fifth episode opens when Hinata trips and accidentally pulls down Aoi's skirt. At the episode's end, Aoi ends up doing the same to Hinata.
* ChildhoodFriends: Aoi and Hinata have known one another since childhood and attended the same elementary school.
* CallBack: To clear her head after being unable to reach Mount Fuji's summit with her friends, Aoi returns to Mount Tenran, the first mountain she had conquered with Hinata. This time around, Aoi finds herself experiencing no difficulties in making the climb even though she'd taken a more difficult route, indicating how far she'd come since she began climbing mountains.
* ADayInTheLimelight:
** Episode fifteen in the second season is focused on Kaede reminiscing about a raincoat she'd bought with Yuuka after realising the extent that Yuuka had worried about her well-being whenever she'd gone hiking alone.
** Season two's twentieth episode follows Kokona, who goes for a walk around town to get a feel for the new hiking shoes her mother had gifted to her for her birthday.
* DeliciousDistraction: Aoi forgets to ask for advice on swimsuits after her mother offers her pudding.
* DownerEnding: During the ascent to Mount Fuji's summit, Aoi [[spoiler: developed altitude sickness and was forced to recuperate at the eighth station]]. She feels terrible that she's made Kaede accompany here, and remains dejected for a few episodes subsequently, but after taking a walk up Mount Tenran and meets Hinata up at the summit, Aoi regains her spirits.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: As children, Aoi and Hinata had gotten lost in a forest. Here, they'd met Kokona, who was dressed in a firefly costume, and managed to find their way. In the present, Aoi and Hinata have forgotten this meeting.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: A foreign couple is seen in the background during the course of Aoi and her friend's climb to the summit of Mount Fuji. Besides exchanging a conversation in English, the pair are also highly enthusiastic about their journey.
* GenkiGirl: Hinata's high-energy, happy-go-lucky disposition forces Aoi out of her shell and is the driving force for her growth.
* GirlishPigtails: Hinata typically wears her hair in a pair of short twin-tails.
* HeroicBSOD: While ''Yama no Susume'' is typically a very warm and easygoing series, the atmosphere becomes heavier in the aftermath of [[spoiler: Aoi's failed attempt to climb Mount Fuji]]. For a few episodes afterwards, Aoi remains melancholy and cheerless.
* HypocriticalHumor: Hinata laughs at Aoi after the latter offers her a ''yokan'' bar, as the act makes her resemble an old man. This particular bar of ''yokan'' had, ironically, been the same one that Hinata gave to Aoi during their Mount Fuji outing.
* {{Iyashikei}}: Despite being focused on mountain-climbing, a physically-demanding activity, ''Yama no Susume'' progresses at a very relaxed pacing and has a calming atmosphere.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Honoka Kurosaki is a shy girl with a keen interest in photography, and she's introduced towards the end of season two as Aoi and the others climb Mount Tanigawa.
* {{Meganekko}}: Kaede is the only girl in the group to sport glasses.
* RealPlaceBackground: Besides featuring well-known mountains in Japan, ''Yama no Susume'' sets Aoi and the others' in Hanno, a city in the Saitama prefecture. Locations such as the [[https://infinitemirai.wordpress.com/2019/06/21/yama-no-susume-ova-omoide-present-review-and-reflection/ Hanno City Library and Yakkosoen Medical Herb Garden, along with smaller streets]], are faithfully reproduced.
* SchoolgirlSeries: While ''Yama no Susume'' might not be predominantly set in a school setting, it still follows the experiences of a group of school-aged girls.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Despite her brash and air-headed mannerisms, Hinata is a bright student who excels with her coursework and even works as a math tutor.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have to Be Heights?]]:
** After she became injured from falling off a jungle gym, Aoi became afraid of heights.
** Hinata is scared of fireflies and had developed this fear when she saw a firefly "monster" (which was Kokona dressed up as a firefly) after she and Aoi became lost.
* WordSaladTitle: The official English name of the series sounds somewhat unwieldy. Conversely, the Spanish translation in Latin America is a lot smoother: ''¡Atrevete a Escalar!'' ("I Dare You to Climb!").

During their journey, they'll have learn to cook, become familiar with the various tools of a mountaineer, climb the local hills, and meet new mountaineering friends as they learn the ropes of their hobby. When will they finally see that sunrise again?

* BaitAndSwitch: Episode 15 of season 2. [[spoiler:The show heavily hints Kaede's old friend Yuuka died. Complete with showing her face in the clouds, and melancholy music...only to be revealed perfectly alive and fine at the end.]]
* BarelyThereSwimwear: [[ButtMonkey Aoi]] goes shopping for swimsuits, and each is more revealing than the previous one "It's just strings!". When she picks up the last hangar, "a swimsuit you can't even see!" Then Aoi realizes that it's just an empty swimsuit-shaped hangar.
* {{Bookends}}: Episode 5 of season 2, begins with Hinata tripping and pulling down Aoi's skirt down and in the end the roles are reversed.
** Aoi climbs the same mountain she and Hinata first climbed together in episode 12 of season 2, breaking her out of her melancholy from [[spoiler: failing to climb Mt.Fuji]].
* ChildhoodFriends: Aoi and Hinata went to elementary school together.
* CallBack: Aoi returns to Mt. Tenran, the mountain she and Hinata first climb in the first season [[spoiler:during the summer break following their trip to Mt. Fuji.]] It also serves to showcase just how much Aoi had grown since that time, as despite taking the more steeper route, she feels neither as terrified or as tired as she did when she first climbed it.
* ConspicuousCG: The buses and the cars in the cut of the girls coming back from Mt. Fuji.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Not every episode is focused on Aoi, mind...
** The entirety of season 2 episode 15 is devoted to Kaede rather than following Aoi or Hinata.
** Likewise, episode 20 is devoted entirely to Kokona as she walks around the city wearing her new shoes.
* DeliciousDistraction: Aoi forgets to ask for advice on swimsuits after her mother offers her pudding from the fridge.
* DownerEnding: The [[spoiler: Mt. Fuji]] arc. [[spoiler: Aoi wasn't able to reach the summit of Mt. Fuji due to altitude sickness, and she's even more depressed because Kaede stayed with her rather than climbing the rest of the way.]] She gets over it eventually, but it sets a surprisingly somber mood for a few episodes.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Aoi and Hinata once met Kokona -- dressed in a firefly costume -- as she once saved them when they were lost.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During the climb up Mt. Fuji, you'll notice a pair of foreigners going up the same path as Aoi and her friends, and all the while they're talking in grammatically correct English. What's more, on top of their enthusiasm, both of them, the man especially, is shown to be wearing comparatively flimsy clothing, especially when you compare this to the double-layer that both Hinata and Kokona had to wear at the summit.
* GenkiGirl: Hinata
* GirlishPigtails: Hinata's default hairstyle and it emphasize her tomboyish personality.
* GodivaHair: Kaede, in the special episode.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Aoi wears polka dots and Hinata wears Bears.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Aoi has one after failing to climb to the summit of Mt. Fuji due to altitude sickness. It lasts several episodes, during which the normally-cheerful series becomes quite sad.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Hinata laughing at Aoi when the latter pulls out a bar of ''yokan'', and asking Aoi if she was an old geezer, when the bar came from ''Hinata'' in the first place (the same bar that she gave to Aoi on Mt. Fuji, in fact).
* {{Iyashikei}}: For a series extolling the virtues of mountain-climbing, it also has a casual pace and an overall relaxing atmosphere.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Honoka, the shy photo-taking girl.
* {{Meganekko}}: Kaede, though she isn't clumsy or shy.
* RealPlaceBackground: The majority of the series (that's not devoted to climbing specific mountains that is) is set in and around Hanno City, located in Saitama.
* SchoolgirlSeries: Though technically we only follow Aoi and Hinata at school, and even then it's only a small fraction of the series' air time.
* ShoutOut: Ryuko from ''Anime/KillLaKill'' can be seen at 1:44 in episode 12 of season two in a classroom.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Hinata is rather impulsive and ditzy. She also happens to be an ace student, even getting a job as a math tutor.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have to Be Heights?]]: Aoi is scared of heights, thanks to an injury she suffered when she was younger.
** Hinata is shown to have a fear of fireflies after Kokona was dressed as one when she was younger and confused her for a monster.
* WordSaladTitle: The official English title, possibly the result of a localization foul-up. Averted in Latin America, as the Spanish title (''¡Atrevete a Escalar!'' translated as "I Dare You to Climb!") was chosen by the Mexican branch of the Japan Foundation, a legal entity from the Japanese government.
* BaitAndSwitch: Episode 15 of season 2. [[spoiler:The show heavily hints Kaede's old friend Yuuka died. Complete with showing her face in the clouds, and melancholy music...only to be revealed perfectly alive and fine at the end.]]
* BarelyThereSwimwear: [[ButtMonkey Aoi]] goes shopping for swimsuits, and each is more revealing than the previous one "It's just strings!". When she picks up the last hangar, "a swimsuit you can't even see!" Then Aoi realizes that it's just an empty swimsuit-shaped hangar.
* {{Bookends}}: Episode 5 of season 2, begins with Hinata tripping and pulling down Aoi's skirt down and in the end the roles are reversed.
** Aoi climbs the same mountain she and Hinata first climbed together in episode 12 of season 2, breaking her out of her melancholy from [[spoiler: failing to climb Mt.Fuji]].
* ChildhoodFriends: Aoi and Hinata went to elementary school together.
* CallBack: Aoi returns to Mt. Tenran, the mountain she and Hinata first climb in the first season [[spoiler:during the summer break following their trip to Mt. Fuji.]] It also serves to showcase just how much Aoi had grown since that time, as despite taking the more steeper route, she feels neither as terrified or as tired as she did when she first climbed it.
* ConspicuousCG: The buses and the cars in the cut of the girls coming back from Mt. Fuji.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Not every episode is focused on Aoi, mind...
** The entirety of season 2 episode 15 is devoted to Kaede rather than following Aoi or Hinata.
** Likewise, episode 20 is devoted entirely to Kokona as she walks around the city wearing her new shoes.
* DeliciousDistraction: Aoi forgets to ask for advice on swimsuits after her mother offers her pudding from the fridge.
