About this place

Musashi Mitake Shrine is a Mitake shrine in Ome, Tokyo (formerly Tama District, Musashi Province). It stands on the summit of Mount Musashi Mitake. 'Mitake' refers to Mount Kinpusen in the Yoshino region (Nara), the center of Shugendo. Enshrining Zao Gongen, Kushimachi no Mikoto and others, it developed from the medieval period as a sacred site of mountain worship and gained a sphere of faith spanning Musashi and Sagami. There is a theory that it is the Engishiki-listed Omatonotsu Tenjin Shrine (see 'List of Engishiki-listed shrines of Musashi Province'), and it is a former fu-rank shrine (Fu-sha). Today it is an independent shrine that does not belong to the Association of Shinto Shrines.
