Atop Mitake-san is this Shint艒 shrine and pilgrimage site, commanding stunning views of the surrounding mountains, and said to date back some 1200 years. The wolf imagery stems from folklore in which a lost pilgrim was led out of a blanket of fog on the mountain by a pair of wolves, who were then enshrined as gods of the mountain.
