Yudonosan Shrine
Glossary of Shinto

Yudonosan Shrine is a Beppyo shrine and one of the Three Mountains of Dewa. It has no main building but rather uses the mountain itself as a Kannabi, or a rock as an Iwakura.[1][2] There is a hot spring there.[2]

It is located in a valley between Mount Yudono and Shinakurasan Mountain.[3]

It is the final destination in Shugendo pilgrimage between all the mountains.[1]

It is also associated with meeting potential spouses.[1][2]

The shrine is located on Mount Yudono.

Mount Yudono is the most sacred and significant mountain of the Three Mountains of Dewa, and considered the heart of the three sacred mountains. It is highly regarded as a training ground for ascetic discipline, and many yamabushi and ascetics believe that their pilgrimage is not complete until they reach the summit of Mount Yudono. The mountain is renowned for its goshintai, a sacred object believed to be connected to a god..[4][5][6] They use a prominent rock as a shintai.[1][2] The shrine on Mount Yudono is regarded as holy ground and is kept secret, with photography and video recordings being strictly prohibited even today..[4][5][6]
