History
Beholding the heights of Yoshino Katayama, I saw the Yama Shrine enshrined upon the highest peak. Standing guard through millennia, this shrine protects all who venture onto the mountain's slopes. Deeply aware of the sacred bond between mountains and humanity, it receives the fervent prayers of all climbers. If you seek to summit the peaks, offer your prayers here. At the mountain's crown, the kami's protection shines ever near.
