Sanjin Gosaiden is located at the top of Mt. Haguro and is dedicated to the deities of the three mountains, Mt. Haguro, Mt. Gassan, and Mt. Yudono. The surrounding area is notable for mountain temples built to conform to the natural landscape. While the current shrine was rebuilt in 1818, it is an important thatched, wooden construction that still retains buildings dating from the Middle Ages, such as the priests’ quarters. In the year 2000, it was designated an important cultural asset.
