Hakusan

Built around settlements on the Tedori River plain, Hakusan developed into a city extending from the Sea of Japan coast towards the mountains around Mount Haku. The river has long shaped local farming and settlement, while the city’s terrain changes from lowland fields to mountain foothills. Shirayama Hime Shrine is central to the longstanding worship of Mount Haku and is regarded as the head shrine of Hakusan faith. Hakusan’s present-day municipality was created in 2005 through the merger of several former towns and villages, giving it a notably broad geographic span.
