Disclaimer
1. Accuracy of Published Information
This Site publishes information about shrines, sacred mountains, and sake breweries — including historical facts, hours of worship, festival dates, goshuin (temple-stamp) availability, climbing routes, access details, and brewery-tour information — based on what the Operator could obtain at the time of writing.
Information on this Site is subject to change without notice. For current and accurate information, always consult the official website of each shrine, mountain, or brewery, or confirm in person on-site.
2. Liability for Pilgrimage, Ascents, and Brewery Visits
This Site promotes pilgrimage to sacred sites, Shugendō ascents, and brewery visits, all of which carry inherent risks.
- Shugendō ascents and training grounds: hazards include chain sections, sheer cliffs, severe weather, falls, and hypothermia. Judge whether you should participate based on your equipment, fitness, and experience; arrange mountain insurance and file a climbing plan as appropriate.
- Religious restrictions, including women-only prohibitions: certain sacred mountains (e.g., Ōmine-san) continue to enforce nyonin-kinsei (women not permitted). Confirm and respect the religious rules of each mountain before visiting.
- Brewery visits: where tasting is involved, never drive afterwards. Arrange public transport, designated driver services, or overnight lodging. Drinking by anyone under 20 is prohibited by Japanese law.
- Shrine visits: follow each shrine's instructions regarding no-photography zones, restricted areas, and offerings.
Participation in these activities is entirely the user's voluntary decision. The Operator bears no responsibility for accidents, injury, death, or damages caused directly by reliance on information from this Site.
3. We Are Not an Official Body

4. External Sites and Services

5. Audio Narration and Auto-Generated Content
Some audio guides on this Site are generated using speech-synthesis technologies including VOICEVOX and Microsoft Edge TTS. Where possible we ensure the underlying script is accurate, but synthesized audio may contain proper-noun mispronunciations, reading variations, or unnatural speech artifacts.
