Jūji Tanabe (Japanese: 田部 重治, Hepburn: Tanabe Jūji); August 4, 1884 – September 22, 1972) was a Japanese literature scholar, teacher, and mountain climber.[1]
Tanabe was born in Toyama City. He majored in English literature at Tokyo Imperial University, specializing in William Wordsworth. He lectured at Toyo University and Hosei University.[1]
He climbed the Japanese Alps and Okuchichibu Mountains.[1] He is the author of the book The Japanese Alps and A Pilgrimage to Chichibu (日本アルプスと秩父巡礼, Nippon Alps to Chichibu Junrei) in 1919,[1] which was republished as Mountains and Ravines (山と渓谷, Yama to Keikoku) in 1930.
Tanabe and his friend Kogure Ritarō's (1873–1944) accounts of the Okuchichibu Mountains have become influential. There is a monument to them at the foot of the Mt. Kimpu (金峰山; 2599 m).
