As one of the Three Mountains of Dewa, Mount Gassan is a place of mountain asceticism surrounded by a long history and a sacred atmosphere. The main shrine of Gassan Shrine at the summit is designated as an important cultural property of the country, and its solemn atmosphere fascinates worshippers. Especially in the year of the rabbit, it is a great opportunity to receive a limited edition seal.
At the mountain hut, you can enjoy delicious blessings of the mountains, such as iced coffee and salt candy, while taking a break from climbing. You can replenish your energy at the huts along the way and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.
The route from the eighth station is a popular course that is relatively easy for beginners to challenge, but there are also steep rocky areas and slopes that even experienced climbers need skills to overcome. Climbers of various levels can enjoy the charm of Mount Gassan at their own pace.
Beyond the steep mountain path awaits the sacred Gassan Shrine at the summit. Photography is prohibited during worship, allowing you to deeply appreciate the sacred space. You can feel a sense of achievement at the summit and indulge in the majestic scenery of the sacred mountain, experiencing a blissful time.
