Hakusan Shrine is famous for Hakusan Shrine on the right side of Kannon-do. It is said that Houki (broom) was founded in the first year (770) and that it was built in the same year (776) in Oguro Suruga Maro. The Hakusan religion was originally a mountain religion, which was linked to Tendai esoteric religion, and has become the center of the local religion as a god of sculpture.
Hakusan Shinto is performed by a monk of the Tendai sect of Ichiyama by Shinto and Buddhist practice. This is called the Miyaza ceremony, but it is rare for the whole country to have been handed down for hundreds of years, following the traditional ceremony centering on New Year’s events.
At the fourth Sunday festival in January, a bow ritual (yabusame) is held, and a child shoots an arrow to tell the weather of the year. The annual New Year’s event begins on New Year’s Eve, and ends at the regular festival through the Gensankai, the Amendment, and the Obankai.
