Mt. Oochouyama

大長山

Katsuyama, Fukui · Elevation 1,671 m

Mt. Ōchōzan is a 1,671 m peak straddling the Fukui-Ishikawa prefectural border between Katsuyama City and Hakusan City, marking the highest point on the old Kaga-Echizen frontier in the Ryōhaku Mountains. It sits within Hakusan National Park, and the standard approach climbs from the Obara toll forest road in northern Katsuyama via Obara Pass and the long ridge over Mt. Akausagi. The mountain's elongated north-south crest is often likened to a horse's back, and the summit offers a wide panorama of the Hakusan range, prized especially in late autumn when fresh snow whitens the main peaks. Climbing season runs from early June through late October.
