Ōyama Afuri Shrine, Shinto shrine on Mount Oyama, Isehara, Japan.

Located halfway up Mount Oyama, this shrine features three main halls dedicated to deities Oyamatsumi, Ooikazuchi, and Takaokami, connected by stone pathways.

The shrine's history extends over 2,200 years, starting during Emperor Sujin's reign, and grew into a major pilgrimage destination during the Edo period.

The shrine maintains a Noh stage where performers present traditional theatrical arts during the Autumn Grand Festival and Oyama Fire Festival.

Visitors can reach the shrine via municipal buses to Oyama Cable Station, followed by a 15-minute walk through the mountain paths.

The shrine's Saryo Sekison tea house serves coffee made with sacred gojinsui water, offering visitors a traditional refreshment experience.
