Description

Ogamiyama Shrine (Ogamiyama-jinja) stands in Odaka, Yonago City (main shrine), and Daisen, Daisen Town, Saihaku District, Tottori Prefecture (okumiya). The shrine is recorded in the Engishiki (927 CE) jinmyocho of the Aimi district of Hoki Province as "Ogamiyama-jinja" and served as a primary cultic center for Mount Daisen (1,729 m). The main enshrined deity is Onamuchi-no-Kami (Okuninushi-no-Kami), who is recorded from the Kojiki (712 CE) Inaba-no-Shirousagi section through the Land-of-Reeds transfer as the principal earthly deity of Izumo, with Sukunabikona-no-Kami and Oyamatsumi-no-Kami as co-enshrined deities. The Edo-period weighted-roof okumiya building (1805) is an Important Cultural Property and ranks among Japan's largest gongen-zukuri shrine structures. The shrine was elevated to kokuhei shosha rank in 1871.
