Hakusan National Park

This is the Red Rabbit Mountain (Akausagiyama / 赤兎山). We were headed for Hakusan, but because of a heavy rains few days before, the road was closed because of the land slide, and we had to wait in a A long queue of cars only to find out that the road is not gonna open until noon. (That’s why, I suggest you to make a call one day before you go there). Then we decided to explore around and luckily we found another route to Akausagiyama. It’s much lower mountain than Hakusan. The climbing takes only 2.5 hours, but the scenery is beautiful. (With low vegetation, and many red dragonflies, it’s like entering a different world). Compares to Hakusan, the climbing trail is a little bit steeper, with a huge rocks, and water, so you better have a good shoes and hiking sticks. So if you ever find yourself in the same situation as us - explore around ^_^

Hakusan National Park (白山国立公園 Hakusan Kokuritsu Kōen) is a national park in the Chūbu region of Honshū, Japan. Established in 1962, it spans the borders of Fukui, Gifu, Ishikawa, and Toyamaprefectures. Its main geographical feature is Mount Haku. In 1980 an area of 480 km² corresponding to the national park was designated a UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Reserve. The vegetation of the park ranges from warm temperate to alpine zones. The base of the mountains is covered by coniferous forests, dominated by firs, pines (Pinus aristata) and Japanese cedar. Deciduous forests and woodlands, dominated by Mongolian oak and Japanese beech are present. At higher elevations there are open landscapes. Hakusan is home to the golden eagle, the mountain hawk-eagle and several larger mammal species typical for the Japanese islands, like Japanese macaque, Asiatic black bear, Japanese serow and Sika deer.

登山口は複数のルートがありますが石川県側の市ノ瀬・別当から特にメジャーです。（別当までは一ノ瀬からシャトルバスで行くか、平日などであれば自家用車で別当駐車場まで行けます。要通行規制情報チェック） 登山道はしっかり整備されており、登りやすい方ですがシンプルに標高差が大きく、基礎体力は必要です。ある程度自分のＣＴを把握してからの方がいいでしょう。 山頂手前に大きい山小屋もありますのでまずは1泊2日で計画することをお勧めします。御前峰からの眺めは綺麗で最高でした。

山や高い所が苦手な人には不向きです。登山初心者でも出来るとありますが中級者以上の場所です。慣れてないと膝や足を痛めます。実際に起こったことですが足を踏み外して滑落しそうになった方がいました。人が大勢いましたのですぐ引っ張り上げられましたが、気を緩めると事故に繋がります。早朝に来て昼頃帰れば良いかと感じます。 山は午前中は晴れて昼過ぎから雲がでてくる。
