Overview
Three sites make up one shrine: the Maetate hall in the village, the Chugu prayer hall, and the Mine main hall at the 3,003-metre summit of Tateyama. In the Edo period women were not allowed on the mountain, and instead crossed a cloth-covered bridge blindfolded in the Nunobashi Kanjoe. A substitute mechanism: salvation without the climb.
About this place
Oyama Shrine is a shrine in Tateyama, Nakaniikawa District, Toyama. Its former names were Tateyama Gongen and Oyama Gongen. It is an Engishiki-listed shrine and the ichinomiya of Etchu Province. Its former shrine rank was Kokuhei Shosha, and it is now a Beppyo Shrine of the Association of Shinto Shrines. It takes the sacred mountain Tateyama as its sacred object and enshrines two deities as the deities of Tateyama: Izanagi no Kami (Tateyama Gongen Oyama no Kami, honji Amida Nyorai) and Ame no Tajikarao no Kami (Tachio Tenjin Tsurugidake no Kami, honji Fudo Myoo). In the era of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism it was a strongly Buddhist shrine and was the source of Tateyama Shugendo. It was also a prayer site for Emperor Genmei and Emperor Go-Daigo.
