Mt. Shirouma-dake (白馬岳)
Schedule & Expenses
As can be clearly seen from my Mt. Shirouma-dake
schedule & expenses shown below, White Horse Mountain was a
real snap to get to from Tokyo and, compared to several other peaks
I've climbed in Japan, was not so terribly expensive.
I did the climb on a weekend, leaving on a Friday
night and coming back home on Sunday night. And the total trip cost was
just a little over 30,000 yen (less than $300 at the time).
