Akagi Shrine — Lake Ōnuma (赤城神社) 赤城神社
Ritual mirrors from 1372 that resurfaced from the lake: the shrine only moved here in 1970.
赤城神社 venerates Ōnamuchi and Sukunahikona, deities associated with the building of the land and, in the case of the second, with hot springs and medicine. Mount Akagi, by tradition one of the three sacred mountains of Kōzuke together with Haruna and Myōgi, has as its divine body the two crater lakes on its summit, Ōnuma and Konuma. The present shrine stands on an islet in the Ōnuma, reached by a short footbridge from the shore, and settled there in 1970, after standing on the lake shore for centuries. Ritual mirrors from 1372 found on the lake bed are evidence that offerings were already being made to the lake in the Muromachi period.
