Whatever the belief system or whoever they're dedicated to, shrines have a way of making you contemplative. Check out Hakusan Shrine and share a peaceful moment with the faithful.
You'll have sightseeing choices galore when spending time in Katsuyama. Hakusan Shrine is a good place to begin here, but there are many other interesting places to appreciate. Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum, Ski Jam Katsuyama, and Katsuyama Dino Park are not far from the sacred place and will top off your day nicely.
