ภาพรวม

Gassan Shrine crowns the summit of Mount Gassan (1,984m), the highest of the Three Mountains of Dewa. In the Dewa Sanzan pilgrimage, Gassan represents the past and the realm of ancestors, symbolizing death before rebirth at Mount Yudono. The mountain is blanketed in snow for much of the year, and the summit shrine is accessible only during a brief summer window from July to September. The climb through alpine meadows and snowfields is itself considered a spiritual practice. Matsuo Basho visited in 1689, writing in Oku no Hosomichi of his transformative experience on the sacred mountains.
