Ishizuchi Shrine 石鎚神社

A Journey to the Mountain of Four Shrines

Dedicated to Ishizuchi-no-Okami (Deity of Ishizuchi), Ishizuchi Shrine stands on the mountainside as if looking out over the whole world. The shrine consists of four parts: one at the summit, two on the mountainside, and the head shrine standing on the foothills. This ancient shrine, believed to have been established over 1,300 years ago, holds a variety of events throughout the year, including the 'Mountain Opening' ceremony in July, where hikers in traditional Shugendo mountain ascetic attire journey to the summit shrine.
