History

Byakko

At the foot of Mount Nantai, this main shrine has long served as the spiritual anchor for climbers. Those who sought safe passage up the high peaks came here in prayer, and their devotion continues to this day. Among Tochigi's mountain-woven landscape, this fox has watched over this pure and pleasant place for ages untold.
