Hakusan Shrine

This shrine venerates Hakusan-no-Okami, the mountain deity of the sacred Mount Hakusan that straddles the borders of Ishikawa, Fukui, and Gifu prefectures. As part of the extensive Hakusan shrine network, it serves as a spiritual gateway for devotees seeking purification, agricultural blessings, and protection from natural disasters. Worshippers particularly visit to pray for safe travels through mountainous terrain and to honor the mountain kami's role as guardian of water sources and rice cultivation.
