御嶽大神, Shinto shrine in Japan
Ontake Okami is a Shinto shrine in Fujisawa dedicated to multiple deities, with Yamato Takeru as the principal god. The sacred grounds contain a main hall facing toward Mount Fuji, along with historical stone monuments including two kosakin offering towers that stand within the shrine precinct.
The shrine was founded in 1195 and was originally called Dainichidō. It underwent major reconstructions in 1661 and again during the Meiji period to preserve and renew its structures for future generations.
The shrine's name comes from Mount Ontake, a sacred site in Japan. It serves as a gathering place for the local community, especially during seasonal festivals and events where people come together to celebrate and pray.
The shrine sits in a quiet, wooded setting and is convenient to reach by public transportation. The grounds offer space to walk around and explore the surrounding natural area at a relaxed pace.
A stone statue of Sarutahiko Okami stands on the grounds and is designated as an important cultural property of the city. The site also contains remains of a former elementary school building, reflecting the area's local heritage.
