History
From its place in the heart of Fukui's castle town, this shrine watches over the ambitions of all who enter. The gaze of the high mountain deity falls upon merchants, warriors, and farmers alike, each climbing toward their own peaks. Here, those who falter find renewed courage, and those who reach the summit gain perspective over all their journeys.
