Hakusan Shrine is located at the summit of Mount Hakusan, one of Japan's three famous mountains. We recommend that climbers climb all the way to the summit to receive a goshuin (a stamp or seal of a shrine or temple) as a souvenir. The view from the top after the climb is also magnificent, making the effort worth it. It takes about an hour and a half by bus from Kanazawa City, and there are many hot spring resorts in the surrounding area. Mountain climbing enthusiasts, please give it a try.
