■About Houshi ～The Oldest Inn in Hokuriku～ The history of Houshi began alongside the history of Mount Hakusan, one of Japan's three sacred mountains, which marked its 1300th anniversary since its opening. Hakusan Daigongen appeared in a dream to the great monk Taicho, who was undergoing rigorous training on Mount Hakusan, and revealed the location of a sacred spring hidden deep underground. Following this divine revelation, the monk traveled to Awazu, unearthed the sacred spring, and instructed his close disciple Gyōryō Houshi to build an inn there and entrusted him with its care. This marked the beginning of 'Houshi.' After Gyōryō Houshi's passing, his adopted son Zengorō succeeded as the second generation, and since then, the inn has been operated exclusively by the family for 46 generations, making it a rare establishment in the world that continues to protect its sacred waters to this day.
