Tsuge Yamaguchi Jinja

Yamaguchi Jinja, enshrined in Tsuge Minaminosho, is an ancient shrine dedicated to the kami that protects the entrance to the mountains. Standing in the deep mountains of Tsuge, it has long been a spiritual support for local people. As its name "Yamaguchi" (mountain entrance) suggests, it has been treasured as a place protecting the path into the mountains and praying for safe travels. Surrounded by the natural landscape of Tsuge, it is a shrine that brings calm to the hearts of worshippers within its quiet precincts.
