History

[edit]

Mount Sannomine, together with Mount Bessan, are sometimes included and called "Mount Haku's Five Peaks" (白山五峰 Hakusan go-mine).[2]

Mount Haku has been climbed for religious purposes for centuries. One popular hiking route from the Gifu Prefecture side of the mountains to Mount Haku's peak runs through Mount Bessan.

Geography

[edit]

The surrounding area is part of Japan's snow country, so it is covered by snow for more than half of the year and various alpine plants can be seen.
