Homan-zan (829m) has been sacred simultaneously to both Buddhism and Shinto since the 8th century — a mountain deity-habitation (shinreichi) where the two traditions coexisted without conflict through Japan's long history of syncretic practice. The summit complex contains both a Shinto shrine and a Buddhist hall, linked by a 5km trail that passes 12 sacred stone markers at irregular intervals through ancient cedar forest.

**Pilgrim route vs. direct route:** The pilgrim route (east trail) passes all 12 sacred markers and is significantly more atmospheric — cedar trees lean over the path and the markers appear at unexpected turns. The direct route is faster but misses the spiritual narrative. **Summit ceremony viewing:** On the spring equinox (March 20–21) and autumn equinox (September 22–23), small ceremonies are held at the summit shrine — attended by 20–30 local devotees. No tourist structure around them; simply happening.
