Once there lived a beautiful, but self-conceited
woman. When Mt. Hakusan was still closed to women, she thought
that the goddess of Mt. Hakusan wouldn't be jealous of her as
she is too beautiful and dared to climb the mountain to attain
the summit. She felt insecure on the way but kept going up as
nothing happened. When she came up almost to the top, giant
appeared and roared at her to stop climbing any further. The
woman ignored it and kept going up, bringing the goddess of
Mt. Hakusan to a full fury. The woman was ripped apart into
two, and the half of the body was thrown into the Mekko Valley.
Since then, passengers may encounter a woman standing on one
foot or find only one sandal near this valley. Even now, it
is said that charrs living in the Mekko Valley have only one
eye.
