There are millions of Hakusan (Shirayama) Shrines in Japan. They all came from, or are related to, the sacred mountain Haku, which is located on the borders of Gifu, Ishikawa and Fukui prefectures. Since Fukui is close to this sacred mountain, there are many Hakusan Shrines here. Even in my small neighborhood, there are three of them, and actually, it's hard to tell which is what! According to the stone monument on the shrine grounds, the Shirayama Shrine (not Hakusan in this case) I found in the rice fields was founded in 1180 by Taira-no Yasuyori (one of the Heike Clan samurai) just after he was pardoned, and then returned to Kyoto from exile at Kikai-ga-shima Island (a faraway island in present-day Kagoshima). Although this shrine has a long history, all buildings appear to be new. They have probably been rebuilt many times since its foundation.
