History
This shrine, true to its name, enshrines the power of deities dwelling on high peaks. Situated at Amimiya in Mori, it has preserved ancient mountain faith traditions. Those entering the path of practice strengthen mind and body here and eventually gain great power. Because of the peak's height, pilgrims' hearts too can rise high. In each season, many practitioners visit, trusting in the power gained from their practice.
