Ogami Shrine with the divine body of Miwayama

#aprilblooms It is the oldest shrine in Japan that enshrines Omononushi no Okami, and Mt. Miwa is the deity. There is no main hall, and the form of worshipping Mt. Miwa through the Mitsutorii in the back of the worship hall conveys the original appearance of the original shrine to the present. Mitsutorii and the worship hall, which was rebuilt by Tokugawa Ietsuna in 1664, are designated as national important cultural properties. Jinho Shrine, which enshrines the gods of the Kumano Sanzan and is believed to be a god who protects treasures and property, the Emperor's Shrine that enshrines Emperor Sujin, the Seigan Inari Shrine, which was enshrined in the Kamakura period as a guardian shrine of Jogan-ji Temple, and when visiting Ogami Shrine, visit here first. Various gods are enshrined in the large precincts, such as the Hodo Shrine, which enshrines the four gods of the exorcism and purify the body and mind.
