History
Oiwa Jinja is enshrined in Kamii, Fujinomiya, positioned in the sacred location at the foot of Mount Fuji. As the name "Oiwa" (great rock) suggests, it carries on the tradition of iwakura faith, the ancient veneration of massive and unusual rock formations as sacred objects. As part of Mount Fuji worship, ascetics and pilgrims have visited this place, offering prayers seeking the power of nature and the divine protection of the deity. Protected by the miraculous power of Mount Fuji, this shrine holds special significance for those seeking peace of mind and purification of the soul, making it a sacred site.
