Omiyama Mountains

The Omiyama Mountains [淤山圖; おみさんず] is a mountain range incorporating Mount Genbi, Mount Zenzu and Mount Wakae, which are clustered together on the border between Uchi and Inaki Prefectures. Considered sacred both in the Sudaro faith and in Kiren, the Omiyama range is a popular pilgrimage site visited by many notable figures throughout history.
The Omiyama Mountains are particularly noteworthy as having the oldest history of mountain worship in northern Kanton. The range was first annointed as a religious site over 1,200 years ago by the Summui King Abuka and his sister, a royal asha. It was known as a site of cleansing and repentance, and records suggest that criminals and wrongdoers from the surrounding area were regularly sent to Mount Zenzu in particular to practice asceticism and reform themselves. 
Following the establishment of the Omiyama range as a sacred site, many people began to make monthly or yearly pilgrimages there to pay reverence, even arduously trekking hundreds of miles to visit the temples there during the winter. These pilgrimages were firstly undertaken by Sudaro adherents, but after the annexing of Honnan in the early 1700s, Kiren monks recognised the range as a holy site and also began their pilgrimage programs. 
In modern times, various hiking trails have been established on the slopes of the three main peaks which have proved popular with both locals and tourists.
