【Yamagata】Dewa Shrine (出羽神社)

[There is also a goshuin-sho! ] Dewa Shrine Entrance Zujinmon Gate

The entrance of dewa Shrine is located about a 2-minute walk from the 1st parking lot on the sidewalk.

Pass through the vermilion-colored Zujinmon Gate and aim for the summit.

[It is also photo-valid!] Suga Falls and Exogawa Kamihashi Bridge

A little 5 minutes' walk from Zujinmon Gate, you will see a red bridge (Exogawa Shinbashi).

The waterfall seen from the Exorcist Shinbashi bridge is Suga Falls.

The waterfall is behind the shrine of Exorcagawa Shrine, and this area is also a picturesque landscape.

[Tohoku's oldest! ] Five-storied pagoda

It is about a 10-minute walk from Zujinmon Gate.

It is the oldest five-storied pagoda in the Tohoku region, and algan to be rebuilt, it is said that it was built about 600 years ago.

It is in the forest, and there is a harsh air.

It is also designated as a national treasure, and you can feel the history.

It is a splendid five-storied pagoda from a distance or close to each other.

It seems to light up at night, so if you are interested, please refer to the homepage etc.

[1,000 years old! ] Yasugi

Near the five-storied pagoda, there is Jijisugi, which is said to be 1000 years old.

The circumference of the tree is about 10m, and it has a different presence from the surrounding cedar trees.

The picture taken with the five-storied pagoda is a picture.

Jijisugi is 1000 years old, but the five-storied pagoda was rebuilt in about 600 years, so it is said to be a cedar that has existed before that.

Both of them have a romance just to think that they have been around for a long time, far beyond the life of us humans.

[The time to the summit is 1.5 hours!] 2446 stone steps

Climb the 2446-step stone steps to Dewa Shrine.

I have the impression that there are many places where each stone step of the approach is not such a big step, but there was also a place that was a little steep.

There are not only places that are like stairs, but also many places that are flat.

The place where it is a staircase is also difficult, but I think that it is a point that I feel that it is difficult to have a long distance to the summit.

The approach was mostly shaded even in summer, but it is still hot when walking.

There is "Ninosaka Chaya" in the middle of the approach, so you can take a break.

On both sides of the approach, there are a total of about 600 cedar trees lined up, and it is one of the highlights of Dewa Shrine.

[You can also have shojin cuisine!] Hagoyama Saikan

It is a reservation system, but you can have shojin cuisine at the saikan near the summit of Mt. Hago.

In addition, it is said that general guests can stay now, so please check the homepage etc. for details.

[The shrine of the large thatched roof that was combined with the three gods! ] Sanjin Gosaiden

You can visit.

The Sanjingo Shrine on the summit of Mt. Haguro is the largest shrine in Japan that enshrines the three gods of Mt. Gassan, Mt. Haguro, and Mt. Yudono.

The shrine was rebuilt in the first year of Bunsei (1818) and has a thatched roof, but when I took the picture, it was just being re-thatched.

After visiting, it is also beautiful to look over the "Kagami Pond" in front.

[Bell more than 700 years ago! ] Hagoyama Bell

The large bell at Dewa Shrine has a name of 1275 years old, and is the second largest bell after Todai-ji temple and Kongomine-ji Temple.

It is located near the Sanjin Gosaiden.

[Get to know the Three Mountains of The Three Mountains of Leave! ] Ideha Cultural Memorial Hall

The Ideha Cultural Memorial Museum is located about a 3-minute walk from Zuijinmon Gate, and there is a permanent exhibition where you can enjoy learning about Dewa Sanzan culture.

I think that it is also good to visit Dewa Shrine before visiting and purchase information about Dewa Sanzan.

[Mt. Moon in the background! ] Haguroyama Otorii

The Otorii, which is about 5 minutes by car, is also a highlight.

How to worship without climbing long stone steps?　What is the parking lot in that case?

The 2446-step stone steps are difficult, and in winter when there is snow, it is recommended that there is a toll road (Mt. Hago toll road) that can be reached to the summit of Mt. Hago by car.

For details, please visit a separate page.

【Yamagata】Hagoyama Toll Road (Tsuruoka City)

If you are going by toll road, you can go to sanjin goriden by walking on a flat road for about 5 minutes from the mountaintop parking lot at the end.

The parking fee was free, so I think it's an image that is included in tolls on toll roads.
