Oyama Jinja Maetate Shadan (Tateyama)

雄山神社前立社壇

Toyama · Chubu

The front shrine of Oyama Jinja, the three-part shrine of the Tateyama mountain cult: the peak shrine stands on Oyama's summit at 3,003 m, the prayer hall sits at Ashikuraji, and this hall at Iwakuraji is the one open all year. Its main hall is the largest shrine building in the Hokuriku region, a five-bay nagare-zukuri roof of cypress bark built in the Muromachi period and designated an Important Cultural Property.

Why it's hidden

Many travelers focus solely on the mountain climbing experience and overlook this cultural gem.
