Overview
Oyama Jinja is the collective name for a group of shrines venerating the sacred peak of Mount Tateyama in Toyama Prefecture, one of Japan's Three Holy Mountains alongside Fuji and Hakusan. The main shrine (Ichi-no-miya) stands at the mountain's foot in Ashikuraji, while the Okumiya inner sanctuary sits near the 3,003-meter summit. The mountain has been a site of mountain asceticism (shugendo) since at least the 8th century, and the Oyama faith drew millions of pilgrims from the Edo period onward.
