History
崇峻天皇の皇子である蜂子皇子が、霊烏の導きで羽黒山に登り、苦行の末に羽黒権現を拝し、月山・湯殿山も開いて三山の神を祀ったことに始まると伝えられる。古来より修験道の道場として崇敬され、神仏習合や八宗兼学の山とされてきた。近代以降に「出羽三山」という総称が使われるようになった。

What visitors say
羽黒山の山頂にある三神合祭殿は、茅葺屋根の重厚感があり、周囲には多くの摂社や末社が並ぶ壮観な景色が広がっています。参道には杉並木や五重塔、滝などがあり、2,446段の石段を登る道程は非常に険しいですが、豊かな自然を感じながら歩けます。御朱印の受付には時間がかかる場合があるため、周辺を散策しながら待つのがおすすめです。
