History

Byakko

The ancient faith gazing upon the brilliantly white mountain in the east is deeply rooted in the high mountains of Hida. Under the protection of the Shirayama Hime deity, those who visit this place will find their journeys safe and blessed with fortune. Whether young or old of heart, touching the pure light of Mount Shirayama brings new courage. The white mountain viewed from Takayama is the mountain within our hearts.
