三輪山
The Ōmiwa Shrine is directly linked to Mount Miwa in that the mountain is the shrine's "shintai", or "kami-body", instead of a building housing a "kami-body". This type of mountain worship ("shintai-zan") is found in the earliest forms of Shinto, and has also been employed at Suwa Shrine in Nagano, and formerly at Isonokami Shrine in Nara and Munakata Shrine in Fukuoka.
