Mt. Yudono
湯殿山
Immerse yourself in the deep history and ancient rituals of Mt. Yudono, the most sacred site of the Three Sacred Mountains of Dewa (Dewa Sanzan) and the last part of a sacred journey or rebirth by the Yamabushi Mountain Monks of Yamagata.
Explore this sacred mountain which has stayed true to its history and practices that date back thousands of years.
Unlike the other Dewa Sanzan mountains, Mt. Yudono does not involve a long hike to reach its shrine which makes it more accessible than the other shrines.
Visitors to Mt. Yudono may enjoy a variety of other experiences here including hot spring baths, shoujin ryori meals (traditional buddhist monk cooking), and even to take part in Yamabushi Mountain Monk training (Gyo Training) under the hidden waterfalls right under the shrine. Please see below for more details.
Quick Information
