Kannabi (神奈備), also kaminabi or kamunabi, refers to a region in Shinto that is a shintai (repositories in which kami reside) itself, or hosts a kami. [2] They are generally either mountains or forests. [2] [3] Nachi Falls is considered a kannabi, [4] as is Mount Miwa. [1]

Overview

They may be host to shinboku (sacred trees), or Iwakura rocks [3] They may have shimenawa , torii , and sandō marking the path towards them.[ citation needed ]

Shrines dedicated to kannabi often lack a honden or haiden, and instead enshrine the natural kannabi as deities. Ōmiwa Shrine is one such example. [1] Kanasana Shrine also has its mountain as its shintai. [5]
