Shirayama-hime Shrine

The head of Japan's Shirayama shrines

Japan boasts over 3000 Shirayama shrines throughout the archipelago, but the atmospheric shrine here in Ishikawa is the main branch. Known to the locals as simply Shirayama-san, the complex is reached by climbing numerous stairs and passing through a small forest of cedar trees, many dating back over a millenium.

The shrine's treasure hall contains numerous items that have been designated as important cultural assets. The hall can be visited from 9:00am-4:00pm for a fee of ¥300.
