Syakusonji hakusansya

A Temple with Legends of Zenkoji
Shakusonji, known as Nunobiki Kannon, is located in Komoro City, nestled between steep cliffs. The temple is famous for the tale "Ox Leading to Zenkoji" and is surrounded by various Kannon statues and an ox stone statue.

Shakusonji Hakusan Shrine stands on a steep stone staircase leading from the road between Komoro City and Tōmi City. The temple, founded in 724, was destroyed by fire during Takeda Shingen's invasion and later rebuilt in 1556 by the Shigeno clan. The current structures were rebuilt in 1723 by Komoro castle lord Makino Yasuaki.

Among various stone statues, the Hakusan Shrine is built within a rock hollow near the Kannon hall, directly on a rock foundation.

This small kasuga-zukuri structure features a board roof and a wooden oni-gawara on the gable. Its front lacks stairs, resembling a misedana structure. Uniquely, the entire structure uses square columns, similar to other shrines in the region.

Architecturally, the shrine features funahijiki brackets with curved boat-shaped bases and uses horizontal nageshi beams in a wa-you style, indicating an older construction period.
