Mount Hongu

Japan

Mount Hongū (Hepburn: Hongū-yama), occasionally also known as Tsuruyama or Maruyama, is a sacred hill in Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It is a shintaizan, or physical embodiment of a kami, that is considered by the Oomoto religion to be its primary spiritual center. Mount Hongū is located on the grounds of Baishō-en, a shrine and garden complex which was declared by its founders Nao Deguchi and Onisaburo Deguchi to be the spiritual center of Japan around the turn of the 20th century.
