okumiya 奥宮 "innermost shrine" Okumiya shrine

oku no miya 奥の宮 - okusha 奥社

There are various translations for this term, it is a smaller shrine located behind the main shrine, sometimes on the top of the mountain, but dedicated to the same deity as the main shrine on the bottom of the mountain.
The way up to a mountain shrine usually leads through a nature path or stone steps and can be quite an ardous mountain climb with the mind of a devout pilgrim.

remote shrine, rear shrine, interior shrine

Sometimes also called okusha 奥社, yamamiya 山宮 "mountain shrine"


The highest "Okumiya" in Japan is on the top of Mount Fuji.


This shrine stands at the end of the trail starting from Fujinomiya. Because Fuji itself is the god's body, there is no inner shrine, only outer and middle shrines.
