Yudensan Shrine Honmiya

〒997-0532 山形県鶴岡市田麦俣十里山7 鶴岡市田麦俣六

4.6(1130)

This shrine is one of the Dewa Sanzan (Three Mountains of Dewa) in Yamagata Prefecture. It is characterized by the belief that the kami (deity) resides within the mountain itself, so no artificial structures for worship are established.

History

As one of the Dewa Sanzan in the Joetsu region of Yamagata Prefecture, it has long been known as a site for mountain worship centered on Shugendo (ascetic mountain practices). During the pre-Meiji era of Shinbutsu-shugo (syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism), Mount Yudensan was identified with Dainichi Nyorai (Mahavairocana Buddha), serving as a place of training where practitioners aimed for immediate enlightenment upon death by overcoming three passes. In 1932 (Showa 7), it was classified as a Kokhei-sho (minor state shrine), and after the war, it was designated as a Hyakka Jinja (listed shrine) under the Association of Shinto Shrines.
