Mount Hakuun, Lava dome in Kamishihoro, Japan.

Mount Hakuun rises 1,186 meters above sea level and forms part of the Nipesotsu-Maruyama Volcanic Group within the Ishikari Mountain range of Hokkaido.

The formation of Mount Hakuun resulted from volcanic processes during the Quaternary period, contributing to the development of the Kurile volcanic arc.

The name Hakuun translates from Japanese as 'white clouds mountain', reflecting the natural phenomena observed at its peak throughout the seasons.

Visitors can access Mount Hakuun through established hiking trails, with the main climbing season running from late spring through early autumn.

The mountain's geological structure combines both volcanic and dome formations, creating distinctive patterns in the surrounding rock formations.
