Vue d'ensemble
Hikosan Shrine (Hikosan Jingu) in Soeda, Fukuoka, enshrines Amenooshihomimi at the summit of Mount Hiko — a mountain that has served as a center of Shugendo mountain asceticism for over 1,300 years. Alongside Mount Haguro and the Kumano mountains, Mount Hiko ranks as one of Japan's Three Great Sacred Mountains of Shugendo practice. A slope car provides access to the mid-mountain shrine complex, while reaching the mountain peak requires a demanding hike through dense forest.
