히가시야마 하쿠산 신사

Higashiyama Hakus-An Jinja는 8세기로 거슬러 올라가는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 1,200년이 넘는 역사를 자랑합니다.

The shrine stores a portable Kaguratai shrine used exclusively for the festival held every May 5th. It's designated as a Municipal Folk Cultural Property of Japan.

The guardian dog statues flanking the shrine were donated by Hida's legendary carpenters, the same craftsmen whose skills built temples using timber that has withstood over 1,000 years of heavy snow.

Giant cedar trees, hundreds of years old, line the stone stairs leading up to the shrine. You'll pass through multiple torii gates before reaching the top, creating a natural cathedral effect.
