History
Notennodaishin Ryuouoin is a special sacred site nestled in the pure land of Dorogawa at the foot of Mount Omine, the sacred peak of Yoshino. Long known as a sacred place of Shugendo practice, this location is revered for its efficacy in healing diseases of the head and spiritual afflictions. Affectionately known as "Notennosan," it is particularly renowned for its miraculous power in treating headaches, dementia, and spiritual disorders. The pure mountain spirit and the powerful blessings of the Dragon King deity dispel the hearts and minds of worshippers. The beautiful natural scenery of Dorogawa surely brings comfort to the spirit as well.
