白山ろくスローツーとは
「白山」という霊峰があります。
その山懐に抱かれた地を「白山ろく」といいます。
ゆるゆると時が流れるいなかです。
デパートとか、コンビニとか、便利なお店は少ないです。
でも、大事なものはちゃんとあります。
ここで数日過ごしていただくと、それがわかります。
「スローツー」というのはスローツーリズムのこと。
里山里海地域に連綿と受け継がれる伝統、文化、景観、
そして「食」を大切にする「スローフード」の考え方を取り入れた
新しい旅のスタイルです。
普段の歩みをちょっとゆるめて、白山ろくで
休んだり、遊んだり、学んだり、企てたりしてください。
そんなスローな旅を提供するのが「白山ろくスローツー」です。
Hakusan faith
Mount Hakusan has been a landmark of reverence and spirituality for centuries. Communities nestled at its base have long worshipped this great “White Mountain.” Historical records from the Nara and Heian era reveal that since ancient times, Mount Hakusan has been revered for its stunning natural beauty, and for its vital role as the source of life-giving rivers.
In medieval times, the practice of Shugendo monks climbing Mount Hakusan for spiritual training helped to spread the Hakusan Faith throughout Japan. Today, the spiritual legacy of Mount Hakusan is reflected in the three thousand or so shrines scattered across Japan. The head shrine of Shirayama Hime Jinja Shrine in Hakusan City, is a testament to the enduring spiritual bond between the mountain and the people.
