About this Shrine

The Shitennō-ji, located in the city of Kanazawa, is a renowned Shinto shrine in Ishikawa Prefecture. Its connection to White Mountain Shrine lies in its shared history with the former imperial family's ancestral home. Founded in 1869 by Emperor Meiji after the abolition of the samurai class, the shrine was constructed on the site where the emperor's father, the 122nd shōgun, died. The primary kami enshrined at White Mountain Shrine is Ōkami, the Shinto god of mountains and fertility.

Cultural Significance

White Mountain Shrine is closely tied to the Shinto mythology of the imperial family's connection to the land and the gods. The shrine also hosts a traditional Japanese New Year (Oshogatsu) festival in early January, where visitors can participate in rituals and ceremonies to ensure good luck and prosperity.
