Kannabi

Omiwa Shrine has Mount Miwa as its Shintai and does not have a honden.[1]

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]
