白山神社

Gifu

Dedicated to Shirayama-hime-no-mikoto, the goddess of Mount Hakusan, this shrine serves as a spiritual connection to one of Japan's three sacred mountains. Worshippers come here seeking purification, protection from natural disasters, and blessings for safe travels through mountainous terrain. The shrine maintains the ancient tradition of mountain worship (sangaku shinkō), where the kami is believed to govern both the physical and spiritual aspects of the sacred peak.
