Though 'Shirayama' and 'Hakusan' are pronounced differently, they use identical characters (白山) in Japanese. The mountain monk Taichō became the first person to reach Mt. Hakusan's summit in 717 and built a chapel there.

The shrine's crest features a gourd flower inside a three-tiered hexagon. Gourds were so rare in ancient times that they were reserved as offerings to the gods, while the tortoiseshell pattern symbolizes longevity and multigenerational prosperity.

The shrine's deity Kukuri-Hime literally means 'to tie' or 'to bind,' making her the goddess of matchmaking who once helped creator gods Izanagi and Izanami reconcile their marital argument at the entrance to the underworld.

Shirayama Hime Jinja는 일본의 주요 영산 중 하나인 하쿠산(白山) 기슭에 자리하고 있습니다.
