After taking a little uphill pathway surrounded by snow, we were rewarded with the beauty of this snow-covered shrine at the foothill of Mt. Daisen! I really recommend going in winter!

Daisen-ji Temple

Oyama Temple reaches 1300 years after the mountain was opened. The main hall which was hit by the three-year and four-year fire of Showa was rebuilt in Showa 26. Even now, there are many treasures left, such as Yamauchi Temple Jukain, important cultural property Amidado and Tokusansonson, and as a temple of so-called 'Tandai', it is a famous place of so-called 'San-in'. Reverence as a temple where you can meet your ancestors.

Even though the main hall was closed when we went, we could still admire the temple's architecture with the added beauty of the snow! I could also enjoy ringing a Buddhist bell for the first time!

Hakuto Shrine

Hakuto Shrine was the setting of the myth of the White Rabbit of Inaba, mentioned in Japan’s traditional creation myth, the Kojiki. Legend holds that the powers of the shrine offered relief from burns and other skin conditions. Mitarashi Pond Along the roadside of the grounds is the Mitarashi Pond, where the White Rabbit of Inaba was said to have washed his wounds and taken healing. The waters remain level, never swelling or declining, throughout the year. Myth of the White Rabbit of Inaba In what is considered Japan’s first love story, the White Rabbit was the matchmaker for King Ookuni and Princess Hachigami. In more recent times, fittingly as this story’s birthplace, Hakuto was designated as ‘the holy ground for lovers’ in 2010.
