Located in the heart of Tokyo, 御嶽神社 is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of mountains and forests, Ōdaijin, who is believed to reside at the base of Mt. Fuji. The shrine's architecture reflects the Heian period (794-1185 CE), with a distinctive wooden torii gate and traditional Japanese-style main hall. Visitors can explore the surrounding park, which features several smaller shrines and temples, as well as a museum showcasing the history and culture of the area.
