Oyamazumi Shrine on Omishima Island, nestled in Japan's Seto Inland Sea, holds immense significance for samurai enthusiasts. While the shrine itself is revered, its collection of armor and weaponry steals the spotlight. Around 80% of Japan's National Treasure-level armaments reside here, stemming from offerings made by victorious samurai praying for success in battle. Positioned along a historic sea route between Kyoto and Kyushu, the shrine became a pivotal stop for warriors seeking divine favor. The shrine, surrounded by ancient Camphor trees, boasts two colossal specimens estimated to be thousands of years old, revered and adorned with sacred ropes. Notably, the guardian statues at the main gate diverge from the norm: instead of traditional fierce giants, they portray Zuijin, standing figures in armor, emphasizing the shrine's martial heritage. Oyamazumi Shrine stands as a revered sanctuary honoring the legacy of samurai through its extraordinary collection and sacred setting.
