Hiking one of Japan’s 3 Holy Mountains: Hakusan (白山) in Ishikawa Prefecture
Hiking in Japan is beautiful, and we finally got to hike a mountain on our bucket list! After moving out of our apartment in Ishikawa Prefecture, this is our first stop on a road trip around Japan. We hiked Hakusan (白山), the highest point in the Hokuriku region, and also one of Japan’s 3 holy mountains that make up the Sanreizan (三霊山).
I’ll talk about how what route we hiked, how to get there, where to camp, and more about the Hakusan National Park area!
