Mt. Miwa, from its beautiful appearance, has been the object of worship from ancient
times as the mountain where a deity resides. There are three places of iwakura worships at
the top, middle and base of the mountain. Omiwa Shrine at the base of Mt. Miwa does not
have a main hall and is directly linked to Mt. Miwa in that the mountain is the shrine's
shintai, or "kami-body", testifying iwakura worships at the back of the worship hall. The
rituals are thought to have been held by ancient states. |
