Insider tip — Daimon Onsen Center takes its name from the Daimon, the Great Gate, that marked the ceremonial entrance to the sacred Hakusan pilgrimage precincts above the foothills. The Hakusan pilgrimage route ascending through the Tedorigawa valley has been walked by white-clad yamabushi mountain ascetics since the 8th century, and the stone lanterns, wayside shrines, and ancient zelkova trees lining the approach still create an atmosphere of mountain sacred space undiminished by modernity.
