Hakusan National Park has a primeval Japanese beech forest and about 250 species of alpine plants. In summer, you're likely to spot flora such as chocolate lilies, Aleutian mountain heath and Hakusan kozakura.
The park's mountains and forests are inhabited by mammals such as Japanese serows and Asiatic black bears, as well as alpine creatures such as the Japanese stoat, alpine accentor and Azumi shrew.
