Hakusan Shiramine Onsen

Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture

白山白峰温泉スキー場　石川県白山市

Hakusan Shiramine Onsen was a ski area located on the western slopes of Aoyagiyama in Hakusan City, in the southern region of Ishikawa Prefecture. It was about 25km north of Katsuyama City in Fukui Prefecture. This ski area was originally known as Shiramine Kogen and had a SAJ-approved (Ski Association of Japan) giant slalom course. Hakusan Shiramine Onsen has been closed to the general public since the 2008 season. Since then, two pair lifts have re-opened and now operate as Shiramine Alpen Kyogijou.
