About Haku-san

Haku-san is a mountain. Location: Hakusan Shi, Ishikawa. Elevation: 2,702 m.

From Wikipedia

Mount Haku (白山, Haku-san; "White Mountain"), or Hakusan, is a dormant stratovolcano in Japan. It is located on the borders of Gifu and Ishikawa, on the island of Honshu. Mount Haku is thought to have first been active 300,000 to 400,000 years ago, with the most recent eruption occurring in 1659. Along with Mount Tate and Mount Fuji, it is one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains" (三霊山, San-rei-zan). The mountain's tallest peak, Gozenga-mine (御前峰), is the one that gives the mountain its height of 2,702 m (8,865 ft).
