Omineyama (大峰山) is a mountain located in the southern part of Nara Prefecture. Omineyama (mountain). In July 2004, Ominesan-ji Temple, Omine Okugakemichi, and other historic sites were registered as major components of the cultural landscape of the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range by UNESCO. Omine-Okugakemichi, which runs from Yoshino to Kumano, was first opened by priests shugenja who came from Fujiwara-kyo and Heijo-kyo to this area to practice Shinsen-sha, Taoism, and Buddhism, which were brought from China and became a part of the ancient belief in nature. The mountain was opened by YAKUZOKAKU in the late Asuka Period (around the time of the Emperor Bunbu). In the Chokyu period (1040 - 1044), Shugenja (Giei and Choen) systematized Omine Okugakemichi from Kumano to Yoshino while Kumano Shugen was growing in power. Mount Omine - Wikipedia
