Yamanokami shirine

Yamanokami shirine is one of the national important cultural properties of the Manda Pit. It is an altar enshrining the mountain deity to whom prayers for work safety were directed. There was a high risk of roof cave-ins, and fire or gas explosions inside the coal mine and various risks outside the mine, so people who worked at the Manda Pit prayed for their safety before starting work every day.
