History
Yamae Jinja Okumiya Azuma-miya, enshrined high in Tsumagoi's mountains, is a sacred place revered since ancient times by mountain dwellers. Enshrining the spirit of the mountain, protecting climbers' safety, I continue to welcome countless pilgrims. My ancient hall near the summit watches over nature's seasonal transformations, illuminating the path where humans and nature coexist eternally.
