古峰神社

Fukushima

Dedicated to Tengu, the legendary winged beings of Japanese folklore, this sacred site serves as one of the primary centers for Tengu worship in Japan. Devotees and mountain climbers journey here seeking protection during their ascents and spiritual purification through the powerful mountain kami believed to inhabit the surrounding peaks. The shrine is particularly revered by those who work in dangerous occupations or face challenging endeavors, as the Tengu are considered fierce guardians who offer both spiritual strength and physical protection.
