In the middle of the mountain, there is a Buddhist temple, called ‘Daisen-Ji', the temple of Mount Daisen. As a centre of worship on the mountain, this temple has developed since the Heian Period.

Daisen Shinkō - 大仙 Mount Daisen

The founding legend says that a hunter from Tamatsukuri in Izumo called Yorimichi entered the mountain from the bay at Miho chasing a golden wolf. When he tried to shoot it Jizō rose out of the earth and the wolf transformed into an old nun called Toran-ni. The wolf was an incarnation of the mountain kami (yama no kami), who, as a nun, persuaded Yorimichi to seek after enlightenment, and gave him the name of Kinren to encourage him in his religious training. Thus Yorimichi is considered to be the founder of Daisen.
