Mount Haku (Hyōgo)

Mount Haku (白山, Haku-san) is a mountain located in the northern part of Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It is not to be confused with the more famous Mount Haku (also 白山, Haku-san) straddling Ishikawa and Gifu Prefectures, which is one of Japan's Three Holy Mountains. The Mount Haku in Hyōgo, while sharing the same name meaning "White Mountain," is considerably smaller and less prominent.

This Hyōgo Mount Haku is part of the Chūgoku Mountains and offers hiking opportunities, though it is not a major tourist destination. Information about its specific altitude, trails, flora, and fauna is often limited and can be difficult to find outside of Japanese-language resources. It is generally considered a local mountain rather than a nationally renowned peak.

The name "White Mountain" likely refers to the snow that covers the peak during winter months. Local communities may hold traditional practices or beliefs associated with the mountain, reflecting its significance in the regional landscape. However, scholarly research and widely available documented history about this specific Mount Haku are scarce.
