Shirataki Daimyojin, with the entirety of Mount Gyoja as its sacred body, is a revered spiritual site where practitioners of Shugendo once trained.
The area is rich in ascetic heritage, with many landmarks still preserved today, such as Kobo Rock, where the monk Kukai is said to have meditated, and a Jizo statue associated with En no Gyoja, the founder of Shugendo.
The Shirataki Daimyojin Support Association offers opportunities for visitors to reconnect with nature through waterfall purification rituals and mountain walks on Mount Gyoja. These experiences are especially meaningful for those seeking healing and renewal amid the complexities of modern life.
We pray that your heart finds peace here, and that a spirit of restoration takes root within you.
