Hakusan Alpine Plants Botanical Garden
Open only once a year for about six weeks from early June to mid-July, when the alpine flowers are at their peak, this seasonal botanical garden offers a truly special experience. Located near the summit of Mt. Nishiyama (857m), it provides stunning views of Mt. Hakusan—one of Japan’s “Three Sacred Mountains,” along with Mt. Fuji and Mt. Tateyama. In the garden, you can admire around 50 varieties and 100,000 alpine plants in bloom. While enjoying the scenery, you can also savor a local rice ball (onigiri) bento filled with the rich flavors of the Hakusan foothills.
