Glossary of Shinto

Iwakiyama Shrine (岩木山神社, Iwakiyama jinja^?) is a Shintō shrine in the city of Hirosaki in Aomori Prefecture, Japan. It is the ichinomiya of former Tsugaru Domain. All of Mount Iwaki is considered to be a portion of the shrine.

The main festival of the shrine, the Oyama-sankei, features a parade from the shrine to the top of the mountain, and is held annually at the time of the autumn equinox. The pilgrims carry colorful banners and are accompanied by traditional drums and flutes

The primary kami of Iwakiyama Shrine is the Ōkuninushi (大国主^?), referred to here as Utsushikuniotama-no-kami (顕国魂神^?). Other kami include Tatsubihime-no-kami (多都比姫神^?), Ōhoyamatsum (大山祇神^?), Sakanoue no Karitamaro-no-mikoto (坂上刈田麿^?), Ukanome-no-mikoto (宇賀能賣神^?), and Ōyamakuhi-no-kami (大山咋神^?).
