This paper introduces and republishes a historical record about the Omine Mountains, one of the most famous sacred mountains in Japan. The Omine Mountains have long been a locality of mountain pilgrimage peculiar to Japanese mountain religion called Shugendo. There are some types of historical records describing sacred sites in the mountains, one of which is an account of forty-two sacred places, shuku. Records belonging to this type are so rare that we have very limited access to them. These articles, which appeared in the Jimben , a Shugendo Journal, from 1909 through 1911 that are republished in this paper.
