Famous for its Namahage Festival held annually in February.

This shrine marks one end of the pilgrimage route across the mountains of Oga. In the past it was a syncretic Buddhist site, but became a Shinto shrine in the Meiji Period. Up behind the shrine is a collection of interesting Buddhist statues and massive stone stairs leading into the mountains. We went here instead of the nearby museum because there was a line to get in there, but while the shrine is quieter the whole narrow mountain road and parking can be crowded during holiday seasons.

I visited on October 31, 2020. I think it's also famous for Namahage coming down on New Year's Eve. The shrines in the Tohoku region are Shinto and Buddhist shrines, so the Niomon is alive and well. There were many shrines that destroyed the statue of Nio due to the abolition of Buddha in the Meiji Restoration, but I would like to say that he often left it. The stone Buddha related to Kobo Daishi remains.
