    A quaint shrine

    Original Text

    Hakusan Shrine is located in Shirakawa, a satoyama in Uji city. It has been designated as a national important cultural property that has gathered faith in lightning protection, toothache, and healing of smallpox since ancient times. At the end of the steep stone steps in the mountains, there is a thatched-roof worship hall and a stone pagoda that feels the history, and it is surrounded by a sacred atmosphere.

    Hakusan Shrine is quietly and quietly standing in the forest in the mountains, 40 minutes walk from Uji Station. 8 It is said that it was a shrine built in the hope of healing when the acne in the latter half of the century became popular. It is said that it was built by Hiroko Shijonomiya, the daughter of Fujiwara no Yorimichi and the empress of Emperor Goreizen, and became the guardian shrine of Kinkiin. The deity is Izanami-mei and enshrines a wooden seated statue.

    I was a little scared of the pilgrims alone.

    Isn't Hakusan Shrine located in all prefectures nationwide? There are many shrines with the same characters and sounds as you think. There are so many shrines and shrines called Hakusan Shrine in the precincts of another shrine. I wonder if the spiritual test of Hakusan Daigongen is new. Although it is called Uji, there is a reasonable distance from the center, and the road is a little tired on the slope. In the world of silence a little creepy, but in that minute, even the spirit is felt in a solemn shrine ...

    It is a shrine that is a god of the guardianship of the village, but it is a fairly historic shrine. It is located in the Shirakawa district, which is a little off the center of Uji town.

    Speaking of tourist destinations in Uji, in addition to the "Byodo-in" and "Ujikami Shrine" registered as World Heritage Sites, temples and shrines that spread from Uji Bridge upstream 5 minutes to 15 minutes, and a little far away. A flower temple The 'Sanmuroto Ji Temple' and 'Manpuku Ji Temple' of the head temple of the Obaku sect are famous, but this 'Hakusan Jinja shrine', which is a deity of Chinju in the village, dates back to the Heian period.

    A spectacular Hakusan Jinja Shrine in the mountains

    Original Text

    When I climbed the steep stone steps in the mountains, there was a precinct. In the wide precincts, there was a thatched-roof worship hall and a stone pagoda that you can feel the history, and it was surrounded by a solemn atmosphere. There are no tourists.
