白馬岳

Hakuba, Nagano · Elevation 2,932 m

Mount Shirouma is a 2,932 m peak on the boundary between Hakuba Village in Nagano and Asahi Town and Kurobe City in Toyama, the principal summit of the Ushiro-Tateyama range in the northern Hida Mountains. Within Chūbu-Sangaku National Park, it is listed in Fukada Kyūya's Hyakumeizan, the Hana-no-Hyakumeizan, and the Ittō-Sankakuten Hyakumeizan. Together with Shakushi-dake and Shirouma-Yarigatake it forms the Hakuba Sanzan, and its eastern flank holds the Hakuba Daisekkei, one of the three great snow gullies of Japan. The mountain is celebrated for vast alpine flower meadows of Primula cuneifolia and Lagotis glauca and for resident rock ptarmigan. Because the Hakuba Daisekkei route may be closed depending on conditions, hikers must check Hakuba Village's latest mountain information before setting out.
