文章を上へスクロール

The 'Japanese Heritage' accreditation system was started in 2015 by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs. Through the historical charm and regional characteristics, stories pertaining to Japanese culture and traditions are certified in various areas. As the second certification for Tottori Prefecture, Mt. Daisen and its surrounding foothills is one of 17 areas selected nationwide. The certification is centered around Mt. Daisen's symbolic importance. Mt. Daisen is well known for its water, which in the past brought about the Daisen Faith, with Daisenji Temple at its core, and in turn the Daisen Gyuuba Ichi (cattle and horse market), which became one of Japan's three major livestock markets in the late Edo Period and developed into the largest in Japan during the Meiji Period. The certification also includes the roads that lead up to Daisenji Temple, the Daisen Roads, that run into Daisen, Houki and Koufu Towns, and Yonago City, and are of significance due to the scores of pilgrims and animals that traversed them on their way to the market, and the villages that sprung up to accommodate them. The theme of this narrative is 'Thank you, Daisen', to show the gratitude the people of the area have for the blessings Mt. Daisen provides.
