Hakusan, Industrial city in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
Located between the Sea of Japan and Mount Hakusan, the city stretches across 754 square kilometers of varied terrain including coastline and mountainous regions.
The establishment of Hakusan occurred in February 2005 through the merger of Matto city with neighboring towns and villages in Ishikawa Prefecture.
The city maintains strong connections to Mount Hakusan through Shirayamahime Shrine, which features religious ceremonies and traditional practices throughout the year.
The Tedori River Gorge provides multiple recreation options, including rafting tours during summer months and hiking trails that extend toward Mount Hakusan.
The Ishikawa Insect Museum displays mounted specimens from around the world and maintains a butterfly house with living exhibits for visitors.
