A signpost of the sun that exudes the romance of ancient times

This is the "Hinowakamiya and the Signpost of the Sun" at Izanagi Shrine. It is a romantic stone monument that was also featured on a certain TV program. It shows the relationship between the movement of the sun with Izanagi Shrine at its center and famous shrines. Due east is Ise Shrine (Naiku), due west is Umikami Shrine (Tsushima), at the place of sunrise on the summer solstice is Suwa Taisha (Lake Suwa), at the place of sunset is Izumo Taisha and Hinomisaki Shrine, at the place of sunrise on the winter solstice is Kumano Nachi Taisha (Nachi Otaki), and at the place of sunset is Takachiho Shrine (Miyazaki Prefecture). If you think about the theory that Awaji Island is the core where the gods reside, this is a recommended monument that will give you a sense of mythological romance.
