  • Yudonoshan Shrine

Mt. Yudono is a mountain where people practice mountain worship. Yudonoyama is 1,504 meters above sea level and is a sacred mountain for mountain worship (Shugendo), where people can practice asceticism on the mountain. It is known as the Three Mountains of Dewa together with Mount Gassan and Mount Haguro. Those who practice Buddhism at Mount Gassan and Mount Haguro can reach the realm of Buddha here. In the valley halfway up the northern side of Mt. Yudono lies the main shrine of Yudonoyama Shrine. Since ancient times, the shrine has been practicing the motto "Don't say what is improper" and "Don't listen to what is improper". It is a mysterious shrine where what you see and hear cannot be told to outsiders. It is a shrine known for its strict rules and is a divine place separated from the secular world.

  • Dewa Sanzan Shrine (three shrines joint festival hall)

The three mountain gods are worshipped together at the summit of Mt. Haguro. Mikami Gosaiden is one of the largest shrines in Japan and also the largest thatched roof building in Japan. In the middle is Gassan Jinja Shrine, on the right is Dewa Jinja Shrine, and on the left is Yudonoyama Jinja Shrine. The thatched roof is 2.1 meters thick and the entire hall is decorated with paint, which is worth a look. The main deity of Gassan Shrine is Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, who is regarded as the incarnation of the moon. As the name "Tsukuyomi" means, he is a deity in charge of the calendar. Dewa Shrine enshrines Isohami, the land god of Dewa, while Yudonoyama Shrine enshrines Oyama no Motoko, the great mountain god. The Mirror Pond in front of the Gosaiden Hall has been filled with bronze mirrors since the Heian period, and there are hundreds of mirrors buried in the pond, hence the name. The water level hardly changes over a year, so it is believed to have mysterious powers and has attracted many believers since ancient times.
