About this Shrine

New Mt. Shrine, located in the scenic prefecture of Miyagi, is a revered Shinto site dedicated to the kami of Mount Zao's sacred peak. The shrine's architecture blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings, reflecting the harmonious coexistence of nature and humanity. As one of Japan's oldest shrines, it has played host to various deities over the centuries, including Tamayama Okami, a regional god associated with agriculture and fertility.

Cultural Significance

Visitors can also explore the nearby Mount Zao, a dormant volcano offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
