Mt. Ontake Shrine

飯能市下名栗

3.0(2)

This shrine reveres Mt. Ontake in the Kiso region of Nagano Prefecture as its head mountain and enshrines a branch spirit (bunrei) of its deity. Within the shrine grounds stands a bronze statue of former General Togo Heihachiro, the only such statue in the world erected with his permission during his lifetime.

History

The shrine was founded in 1895 (Meiji 28) by Kamoshita Seihachi, a local Ontake ascetic (gyōja). Motivated by his faith in the divine power that cured his mother's illness, he invited (kanshō) the Great Deity of Ontake from Mt. Ontake in the Kiso region of Nagano Prefecture. The shrine reveres Mt. Ontake in Kiso, Nagano, as its head mountain and enshrines a branch spirit of its deity.
