History
The Satonomiya (subsidiary shrine) of Buko Mitake serves as a bridge between the mountain shrine at the peak and the village below. Ancient practitioners would purify their hearts here before ascending the mountain. Continuing to uphold the deep faith of Chichibu's mountains, this sacred place watches over the fulfillment of practitioners' goals.
