History
Hotaka Shrine Okuōmiya, standing at the boundary between heaven and earth. Those who reach this peak offer their prayers at the closest point to heaven. Upon summiting, one first feels both personal smallness and connection to something greater. That moment is the highest blessing I can bestow.
