About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Japan's Seto Inland Sea, Big Mountain Accumulation Shrine is a lesser-known Shinto temple dedicated to the kami of mountain climbers and trekkers. The shrine's architecture reflects its connection to the nearby mountains, with many of its buildings made from natural materials such as wood and stone. Visitors can explore the shrine's tranquil grounds, which feature several walking trails and scenic views of the surrounding landscape.

Cultural Significance

Big Mountain Accumulation Shrine is often associated with the mythology of the Japanese mountain god, Takamagahara, who is said to reside in the mountains surrounding Ehime Prefecture. The shrine also celebrates a unique festival called the 'Mountain Climber's Festival' every autumn, which honors the kami of those who venture into the wilderness.
