Ryōhaku Mountains

The nihongo|Ryōhaku Mountains|両白山地|Ryōhaku Sanchi are a mountain range spanning Gifu, Toyama, Ishikawa, Fukui and Shiga prefectures in Japan. It is divided into the Kaetsu Mountains (加越山地 "Kaetsu Sanchi"), whose major peak is Mount Haku, and the Etsumi Mountains (越美山地 "Etsumi Sanchi"), whose major peak is Mount Nōgōhaku (能郷白山). The range derives its name from the two major peaks, which both have "haku" in their names. [http://www.nhk.or.jp/sawayaka/gihuneogawa.html Gifu Neogawa: Sawayaka Shizen Hyakkei] . ja icon NHK.
