Mt. Shōzu

清水岳

Kurobe, Toyama · Elevation 2,603 m

Mt. Shōzu is a 2,603 m peak in Kurobe City, Toyama Prefecture, on the Shōzu Ridge that extends west from Shirouma-dake in the Ushiro-Tateyama subrange of the Hida Mountains (Northern Alps). The forward bastion of Shirouma seen from the Kurobe alluvial fan, its broad gentle summit carries open alpine meadow and flower fields including the rare Miyama-hanashinobu. Within Chūbu-Sangaku National Park, it is reached on the long demanding traverse from Hakuba-Sansō down the Shōzu Ridge to Babadani Onsen — a route prone to trail erosion and only for experienced parties.
