Yoga-san (Mount Yoga)
〒711-0901 岡山県倉敷市児島由加２８５５
This is the head shrine of Yoga Dai-Genjin (the Great Genjin of Yoga), one of Japan's three major Genjin (deities associated with mountains and nature). It is renowned as the primary shrine for warding off misfortune (yakuyoke).
History
In 733 CE, the monk Rowan (Gyoki) founded Renda-ji Temple. Since ancient times, the site has been an object of worship for Iwasema (natural stone altars) and mountain faith. During the mid-Edo period, it served as a place of prayer for the lords of the Okayama domain. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, it was separated from the temple to become Yoga Shrine. Today, the area is known for the coexistence of Yoga Shrine Hongu (Head Shrine) and Renda-ji Temple.
