Read moreThis is the Red Rabbit Mountain (Akausagiyama / 赤兎山). We were headed for Hakusan, but because of a heavy rains few days before, the road was closed because of the land slide, and we had to wait in a A long queue of cars only to find out that the road is not gonna open until noon. (That’s why, I suggest you to make a call one day before you go there). Then we decided to explore around and luckily we found another route to Akausagiyama. It’s much lower mountain than Hakusan. The climbing takes only 2.5 hours, but the scenery is beautiful. (With low vegetation, and many red dragonflies, it’s like entering a different world).

So if you ever find yourself in the same situation as us -...

【アクセス】 山なのでそこまで良くはありません。 ①大阪方面からの有料道は「福井北」まで ②そこからは”無料”高速道路で「勝山」で降ります! ③勝山からは国道157号線を少しづつ山に入っていき ④「白峰」を右折。 ⑤白峰からは県道33号線を登ります。 ここからは狭い道もあるので注意❗️ (登山後の白峰温泉は最高でした♨️)
【詳細】 ・白山標高2702m ・エリア:甲信越・北陸 ・レベル:中級 ・歩行時間(休憩含まず):9時間 ・歩行距離:約16km ・最大標高差:1,462m ・大白川ダム周辺、手付かずの原生林の大きさは特に見事で、滝や温泉も楽しめる。 他の山と比べれば山頂付近の高山植物の見事さ、紅葉の美しさが際立つと思います。 ・2016年白山はユネスコエコパークに拡張登録され、世界が認めた山となりました。
【ルート】 ①砂防新道/②観光新道 →①砂防距離が短く、水場に避難小屋など休憩所が多比較的手軽に山頂に行くことができる。 →②観光は大きい段差が多いが多く 眺めの良い展望スポットや尾根歩きのできるルート。 両方経験しましたが、砂防を登りに使い、観光を下に使いました。 砂防に比べて観光は登るのに大変です。なので下山に使...
