Ogamiyama Shrine

Japanese: 大神山神社 - おおがみやまじんじゃ
Ogamiyama Shrine

It is located in Odaka, Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture. The main deity is Oonamuchi-no-Kami (Okuninushi-no-Mikoto), and in the side shrines are Sukunahiko-no-Kami, Susanoo-no-Kami, and Oyamatsumi-no-Kami. According to the shrine's legend, it was originally located halfway up Mt. Daisen (Ogamiyama), but during the Enkyu and Joho eras (1069-1077), monks from Daisen-ji Temple preached Ryobu Shinto and moved it to the foot of the mountain, and then in 1680 (Enpo 8), it was moved to its current location. In 837 (Jowa 4), it was awarded the rank of Jugoi, and in 867 (Jogan 9), it was promoted to Shogoi. The shrine appears as a small shrine in the Engishiki Shinmeicho (list of deities), and was read as "Omiwanoyama." It is said that when Emperor Godaigo enshrined at Mt. Senjo, he prayed for the retreat of the imperial enemies. The shrine also flourished as a training center for ascetic practices, but after separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji period, Okumiya (Daisen-cho, Seihaku-gun) was established on the middle slope of Mt. Daisen. In 1871 (Meiji 4), the shrine was designated as a small national shrine. Annual festivals are held on April 29th in the spring and October 9th in the fall.

Japanese:

鳥取県米子(よなご)市尾高に鎮座。主神は大己貴神(おおなむちのかみ)(大国主命(おおくにぬしのみこと))、相殿に少彦名神(すくなひこなのかみ)、須佐之男神(すさのおのかみ)、大山津見神(おおやまつみのかみ)を祀(まつ)る。社伝によると、当初は大山(だいせん)(大神山)の中腹に鎮座していたが、延久(えんきゅう)・承保(じょうほう)(1069~77)のころ大山寺の僧徒が両部神道(りょうぶしんとう)を唱えて山麓(さんろく)に移し、その後1680年(延宝8)現在地に遷座したと伝える。837年(承和4)従(じゅ)五位下を授けられ、867年(貞観9)には正五位上になっている。『延喜式(えんぎしき)』神名帳には小社として名をみせ、「おおみわのやま」と読まれていたという。後醍醐(ごだいご)天皇が船上山(せんじょうさん)に遷幸された際には、朝敵退散の祈願を込められたといわれている。また修験(しゅげん)道場としても栄えたが、明治の神仏分離により大山中腹に奥宮(西伯(せいはく)郡大山(だいせん)町)が置かれた。1871年(明治4)国幣小社に列した。例祭は、春季が4月29日、秋季は10月9日。
