Mount Shirai

白井岳

Sapporo, Hokkaido · Elevation 1,301 m

Mount Shirai is a 1,301.3 m peak in Jōzankei of Minami Ward, Sapporo City, Hokkaido — the central part of a lava dome with continuous rock walls on its eastern face and a 3 km ridge extending northeast interpreted as an intrusive dyke. Its name derives from the Mizumata stream, a tributary of the Shirai River on the southern slope. Together with Mount Yoichi and Mount Asari it forms the so-called Three Mountains of Yoichi. A former trail from the Helvetia Hütte along the ridge has faded out, and no maintained course remains. It is one of the Sapporo 50 Peaks.
