Mount Miwa is a particularly well-formed conical mountain among the Aogaki Mountains surrounding the Nara Basin. Since ancient times, it has been revered as a sacred mountain where the great deity Ōmononushi resides. In the "Nihon Shoki" and "Kojiki", it is referred to as Mimoroyama, Miwayama, and Mimorodake. Standing at a height of 467 meters, with a circumference of 16 kilometers and covering an area of 350 hectares, this mountain is cloaked in large trees such as pine, cedar, and cypress, and is respected as a divine presence in every tree and blade of grass.
