Hakuba is a mountain with an elevation of 2,932m in the Ushirotateyama mountain range in the northern part of the Hida Mountains (Northern Alps). It spans Nagano and Toyama prefectures and is located within the Chubu Sangaku National Park. Mt. Hakuba, along with Mt. Shakushi and Mt. Hakuba Yari, is called Hakuba Sanzan (Three Mountains of Hakuba). Along with the mountains of the Ushirotateyama mountain range to the south, it has a distinctive mountain shape with an asymmetrical mountain ridge where the slopes on both sides of the north-south ridge are significantly different. In the valley on the east side, there is Hakuba Daisekkei, Japan's largest snow valley, where a vast amount of snow accumulates in winter and avalanches gather from the surrounding mountain masses. The upper part of the snow valley is covered with flower fields of unique alpine plants in summer. It is selected as one of the 100 Famous Mountains of Japan, the New 100 Famous Mountains of Japan, the 100 Famous Mountains of Flowers, and the New 100 Famous Mountains of Flowers. 【Origin of the Mountain Name】 In spring, when the snow melts and the rocks are exposed, the snow shape of a black "rice-planting horse" appears, which led to "rice-planting horse" → "rice horse" → "Shirouma". In other words, the original notation was the black "Daiba-dake" (rice horse mountain). Thank you for viewing. Thank you.
