Hakusan Chukyo Shrine

This shrine is located about a 40-minute drive from the Shirotori Interchange. One of the Hakusan shrines, the monk Taicho—Daishi expanded the shrine area in 717, and repaired the main building. The sculptures “Awa ni Uzura(ears of millet and quails)” and “Ryu to Wakishoji(dragons on the side-screens)” in front of the main hall were designated important cultural properties by Gifu Prefecture in 1962, and the “Jyoan sugi” cedar trees and virgin beech forest on the grounds were made a natural monument of Gifu Prefecture in 1974. Every year on the third Sunday in May, two shrine maidens perform five kinds of dances for the annual summer festival.
