Gassan Shrine (Dewa Sanzan)
月山神社
Ideha Shrine (Dewa Sanzan / Haguro)
Mount Haguro is the gateway to the Dewa Sanzan pilgrimage, accessible year-round unlike the snow-bound Gassan and secret Yudono. The 2,446-stone-step approach through ancient cedar forest is one of Japan's most atmospheric pilgrimage paths. At the base stands a National Treasure five-story pagoda from the 14th century, and at the summit the Sanjin Gosaiden hall allows worship of all three mountain deities together.
Five-story pagoda (current National Treasure) constructed
