History

Byakko

Murou Yamaguchi Jinja stands in the mountains of Murou and has long gathered the faith of the region as a shrine enshrining the deity of the mountains. Positioned along the approach to Murou-ji Temple, it has played an important role since ancient times as a center of mountain worship. Revered as a shrine of gratitude for mountain blessings and prayers for safety in the mountains, it receives devoted faith from those engaged in forestry and mountain work. The sacred grounds, surrounded by Murou's beautiful nature, are a quiet and sacred space where one can feel the protection of the mountain deity.
