Mt. Shirakami

Mt. Shirakami is a 1,235-meter tall mountain within the Natural World Heritage Site Shirakami Sanchi.
There are three hiking courses up to the summit: the Juniko, Mt. Mate, and Futamata courses.
From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the center of the Natural World Heritage area.
Along the Juniko course, there is a spectacular view of the Juniko Lakes area from Okuzure.
