History
It is said that Kukai enshrined the deity here when he founded Mount Koya, with the shrine's establishment dating to around 800 CE. During the Meiji era's Haibutsu Kishaku (destruction of Buddhism) campaign, the Hoju-in temple was closed, and the site came to be referred to simply as Ara Shrine.

What visitors say
This shrine offers a mystical atmosphere with spectacular views of the sea of clouds and the sunrise due to its high elevation. The torii gates leading to the summit and the simple wooden worship hall are considered solemn and impressive, and the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains are highly praised. However, the mountain path can be confusing, so prior preparation is necessary. It is a place where one can feel nature and faith in a quiet environment.
