A Sacred Spot Wrapped in Autumn Colors

#hellohalloween

In the mountains of Kanuma, Tochigi, you’ll find Furumine Shrine (古峯神社)—a powerful spiritual site dedicated to Yamato Takeru no Mikoto, a legendary warrior figure in Japanese mythology. Locals affectionately call the shrine Kobugahara-sama or Komine-sama, and it’s known as a center of tengu worship—the long-nosed, winged spirits of Japanese folklore.

During autumn, the grounds are beautifully lit with red and gold foliage, making it a breathtaking place for both spiritual reflection and seasonal scenery. Whether you’re drawn by the history, the mountain air, or the rich colors of fall, Furumine Shrine offers a serene escape from the everyday.
