About this Shrine

Ontake Shrine is dedicated to the deities of Mount Ontake, one of Japan's most sacred mountains. These shrines typically serve as places of worship for mountain pilgrims and practitioners of Ontake-kyo, a Shinto sect focused on mountain worship and spiritual purification through ascetic practices.

Cultural Significance

Ontake shrines are closely associated with mountain worship (sangaku shinko) and often serve communities practicing Ontake-kyo, which emphasizes spiritual purification, meditation, and communion with mountain kami. Mount Ontake is considered one of Japan's three most sacred mountains alongside Mount Fuji and Mount Hakusan.
