Abstract
By the end of the Sengoku period, accommodations known as muro had been established around the three peaks of Mt. Haku (Hakusan) by temples and shrines at the foot of the mountain. By the early Edo period, villages along the worship ascent trails to Hakusan’s three peaks had constructed their own muro. They were simple wooden huts built on flat land and near water. Although enclosed by stone walls to protect against wind, they often needed to be renovated and reconstructed. After frequent disputes over rights, Heisenji Temple seized power, leading to the decline of the ascent trails and muro.
