Ochi Shrine
The summit area of Mount Ochi is said to have once been a sacred mountain site blending Shinto and Buddhist elements. Near the trig point at the peak are the inner sanctuary, the Daishi Hall, the shrine office, Hiyoshi Shrine, the main hall, and the worship hall. This main hall corresponds to Ochi Shrine. As one of the Echizen Five Mountains, it attracted devotion and is said to be where Taichō practiced asceticism before opening Mount Haku. In 1973, it was designated a prefectural historic site as the Mount Ochi Mountain Worship Site.
