Kiyama Shrine
Kiyama Shrine is a large shrine on the lower slopes of a mountain to the south of Maniwa in Okayama.
Kiyama Shrine has an Emaden, a hall existing solely for the display of ema, votive tablets.
The size of the shrine and temle is an indication that it was well supported not only by local notables and rulers but also by regional warlords.
I walked here from Tsuyama on a rainy summer day as Kiyama Temple was the next pilgrimage temple on the Chugoku Kannon pilgrimage.
