About this Shrine

An inner sanctuary (okumiya) of Horaisan Shrine located in the mountainous regions of Wakayama Prefecture. As an okumiya, it serves as the more remote, sacred counterpart to the main shrine buildings, typically situated at a higher elevation or deeper in the mountains where the kami are believed to originally reside.

Cultural Significance

The concept of okumiya embodies the Shinto understanding of sacred geography, where natural features serve as dwelling places for kami, with inner sanctuaries preserving the original wild and untamed aspect of these deities.
