Having been worshipped as a sacred mountain since days of old, Mt. Daisen is home to many old temples and shrines. Located on the slopes of the mountain, near Daisen’s village centre, the Buddhist temple of Daisen-ji flourished as a training area for shugendo monks. Located above it, at the end of Japan's longest stone-flagged approach (700 metres), is Ogamiyama Shrine, a Shinto shrine designated as an Important Cultural Property.
