Description
Oiwa Shrine (御岩神社) is a Shinto shrine on Mount Oiwa (530 m) in IriShiken-cho, Hitachi, Ibaraki Prefecture, identified with the "Kabire-no-Takamine" recorded in the Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki (713 CE) for Kuji District. The principal kami is Kuninotokotachi-no-Kami, recorded in the Kojiki (712 CE) as the first deity of the seven generations of the age of the gods, with Izanagi and Izanami as auxiliary kami and a reported 188 deities enshrined in total across the main hall, auxiliary shrines, and Kabire Jingu summit shrine. The summit Iwakura (rock altar) preserves the ancient stratum of nature veneration. The shrine was venerated by Tokugawa Mitsukuni (Mito Mitsukuni) as a domain prayer site, and the syncretic Edo-period landscape of Buddhist halls along the entrance path still survives in part.
