Miyazaki's sacred shrine

#AdventureTrip
⛩ Miyazaki Shrine – The Sacred Shrine of Miyazaki 🌿

When talking about one of the oldest shrines in Kyushu, Miyazaki Shrine (宮崎神宮) is a must-see. It's believed to be the residence of Japan's first Emperor, Jinmu Tenno (Emperor Jimmu), creating an atmosphere of sacredness and tranquility.

✨ The highlight here is:

The towering dark wooden torii gate welcomes you.

The ancient cedar forest surrounding the shrine makes entering a peaceful world.

The shrine's simple yet elegant buildings clearly reflect the essence of ancient Japan.

📅 Every year on February 11th, the grand Kigensai (紀元祭) event celebrates the founding of Japan. People gather at the shrine, and the atmosphere is lively, filled with both traditional rituals and devotion.

For anyone visiting Miyazaki, beyond the sea and nature, a visit to Miyazaki Shrine is a must. It will allow you to experience another side of Japan: peaceful, profound, and filled with the power of faith. 🙏
