Hakusan

Built around farming communities on the Tedori River’s alluvial fan, Hakusan grew into a broad city extending from the Sea of Japan coast into the mountain country of Ishikawa Prefecture. South of Kanazawa, its territory brings together rice-growing plains, forested valleys, and routes leading towards Mount Hakusan. The mountain is one of Japan’s three sacred peaks and gives the city its name; the long local tradition of mountain worship is represented by Shirayama Hime Shrine, an important Shinto sanctuary. Hakusan’s character shifts markedly between coastal districts, rural settlements, and upland communities. Find related webcams around Hakusan to build a fuller picture of this part of Ishikawa.
