Dewa Sanzan Shrine, Shinto shrine at Mount Haguro, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan
The Dewa Sanzan Shrine encompasses three sacred peaks: Haguro-san, Gassan, and Yudono-san, connected by mountain paths through dense forests at different elevations.
The shrine complex dates back over 1,400 years when Prince Hachiko established the first sanctuary after finding refuge in Mount Haguro during political upheaval.
Each mountain represents a different temporal aspect: Haguro symbolizes the present, Gassan the past, and Yudono the future, forming a complete spiritual journey.
Visitors can access the shrine complex via bus service from Tsuruoka Station, with free parking available year-round and winter accessibility through Mount Haguro.
The Yudono-san section maintains strict photography restrictions and uses white fabric instead of traditional shrine buildings to protect its sacred object.
