Ōyama Afuri Shrine, Shinto shrine on Mount Oyama, Isehara, Japan.
Ōyama Afuri is a Shinto site set partway up Mount Oyama in Isehara, where three main halls stand linked by stone paths. Each hall serves a different deity: Oyamatsumi, Ooikazuchi, and Takaokami.
The site dates back more than two thousand years to the reign of Emperor Sujin, when it was founded as a place of worship for mountain deities. During the Edo period, pilgrims from Edo and other cities traveled here in large numbers.
The shrine maintains a Noh stage where performers present traditional theatrical arts during the Autumn Grand Festival and Oyama Fire Festival.
Municipal buses run to Oyama Cable Station, from where a walking path of roughly 15 minutes through mountain trails leads to the site. Sturdy footwear makes navigating the steep stone steps easier.
A tea house on the grounds serves coffee made with sacred gojinsui water drawn from a mountain spring. The blend of a modern beverage with sacred water feels unexpected to many visitors.
