The honsha (main shrine) is located at the peek of Mt.Oyama, while the shimosya (lower worship shrine) is located along the slope. Three deities are enshrined at Oyama Afuri: Oyamazumi-no-kami, Ikazuchi-no-kami and Takaokami.
In Japanese mythology, Oyamazumi-no-kami is said to be the father of the goddess Konohanasakuya-hime, who is
enshrined on Mt.Fuji. As a result, these two mountains have a history of shared worship, with ascetics traditionally believing a visit to one mountain should be followed by a vislt to the other.
