Oyamatsumi Jinja

Inside the precincts of Naiku, beside the guard post east of the Uji Bridge, standing alongside Koyasu-jinja — Koyasu in front, this shrine behind it. The deity guards the mountains, and the shrine was once called Yama-no-Yashiro. Yamaguchi-sai, the first rite in the cycle of the periodic rebuilding, is said to have been held here. A water basin cut in the shape of a flower stands before it.
