Mt. Yakushi, Mountain summit in Toyama Prefecture, Japan.
Mount Yakushi rises to 2,926 meters with steep granite slopes and four distinct basins merging into the Kurobe River on its eastern face.
Benjamin Smith Lyman conducted the first recorded measurement expedition to Mount Yakushi in 1885, marking an early scientific exploration of the peak.
The mountain houses a Shinto shrine at its summit dedicated to Bhaisajyaguru, reflecting the traditional religious significance of Japanese peaks.
Multiple mountain huts, including Yakushi cottage, Sugonokkoshi, and Tarōdaira, provide essential overnight accommodations for climbers along different routes.
The granite surface of Mount Yakushi reflects light in varying patterns throughout the day, creating an appearance similar to white facial powder.
