Mount Haguro: Walking the Five-Story Pagoda and Cedar-Lined Sanctuary Path
From the foothills hamlet of Tewata, venture up the sanctuary path of stone steps lined with centuries-old cedars. After previewing mountain priest culture at the Ideha Culture Memorial Hall, pass through the vermillion Zuishinmon Gate to enter the sacred realm, where Japan's national treasure Haguro Five-Story Pagoda suddenly appears among the cedar groves. Climbing the 2,446 stone steps to the summit, you'll be welcomed by the Sanshingassai-den Shrine of Dewa Sanzan Shrine, where the three sacred mountains are enshrined. Complete your journey at Tamagawa Temple, the "Temple of Flowers," where you can enjoy its nationally designated scenic garden and rest. Perfect for groups of friends who love history and nature—a soul-cleansing mountain walk that leaves you refreshed.
