” Walk with Yamabushi ” Journey to Rebirth: Dewa Sanzan
In the middle of Yamagata Prefecture, present-day Tsuruoka City roughly corresponds to ancient Dewa Province. Known as Dewa Sanzan, three peaks clustered here, for more than 1,400 years, have been held sacred. To carry out ascetic practices that increase personal spiritual power, people visit the mountains from the local Shōnai region, from throughout Japan, and from overseas.
