Heisenji Hakusan Shrine

The old shrine was founded by Taisō Taishi, who opened Hakusan, in the first year of Yōrai (717). It had 48 houses and 36 houses of 6000 foysters, and it was a major base for the Hakusan religion, but all the mountains were destroyed by the Ikkō Iki. It now contains seven shrines, such as the Hall of Worship and the main shrine, and the former Genseiin Garden [Kyungen Jōinteen], which is a national masterpiece. The mosses covering the cobblestones are beautiful on the approach to the old cedar, which is called Bodaihanashi, which runs for about 2km, and has also been selected as "Japanese road hundred".
