History
Bakuetsuyama Jinja is an mystical shrine enshrined in the mountains of Minami-Boso. Together with its unusual mountain name 'Bakuetsuyama,' it has long been revered as the center of mountain worship in this region. As a mountain kami, it watches over the safety and prosperity of the local area, and has gathered the faith of those engaged in mountain work and climbers. In this sanctuary embraced by abundant nature, one can forget the hustle and bustle of the city and offer prayers in peaceful contemplation—truly a place worthy of being called sacred.
