About this place

Oyama Afuri Shrine is a shrine on Mount Oyama (also known as Afuriyama) in Isehara, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is one of the thirteen Engishiki-listed shrines of Sagami Province recorded in the Engishiki Jinmyocho of 927 (Encho 5) (a minor shrine), and under the old shrine ranking was a prefectural shrine (now a Beppyo shrine of the Association of Shinto Shrines).
