The Nagataki Hakusan Shrine, located in Gujo City, is part of the Hakusan group of shrines dedicated to Mount Hakusan. Originally part of the eighth-century Hakusan Chugu Choryuji Temple, founded by the monk Taicho, the shrine separated from the temple in the 1870s, after the Japanese government mandated that Buddhism and Shinto be distinct religions.
The shrine's grounds contain stone lanterns said to date back to the Kamakura period. The treasure house contains many cultural artifacts, some of which have been designated National Important Cultural Properties.
Every year on January 6, the shrine celebrates Nagataki no Ennen. During this festival, visitors try to grab flowers, such as cherry blossoms and peonies, that are hung from the ceiling of the main building while dancing. This custom gives the festival its other name: the Flower Grabbing Festival.
