Saikan (斎館, Saikan) is a sprawling temple lodging atop Mt. Haguro (羽黒山 Haguro-san), part of the Three Mountains of Dewa (出羽三山 Dewa Sanzan) in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan.[1] It was previously known as Kezō-in (華蔵院).[2][3]
Saikan connects directly to the main temple of the complex through a long passageway that climbs further up the mountain.
