Sengen Shrine

Hakusan Shrine has many shrines in its area.
Sengen Shrine is one of them and it's a little mountain with hydrangea flowers.
It's also called Fujizuka since it copies Mount Fuji.

There's a small path leading you to the top of the mountain, where a tiny shrine is.

Gallery Origami House

Gallery Origami House is a small gallery with the office of Japan Origami Academic Society.
Works exhibited in this gallery are rather artistic and unique ones.
Origami is folding paper to make shapes of things.

There're many works by Eric Joisel who are called Magician of Origami.
Taking pictures of his works is prohibited.

Other Origami places have works for everybody to try, but this place shows works which we cannot find out how artists made this.

You should be quiet since people work at the office.
