[Nagano Prefecture/Hinomikosha] Togakushi Shrine, dedicated to the god of performing arts

"Togakushi Shrine Hinomikosha" in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture

𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃
Hinomikosha enshrines the god of dance, performing arts, and marriage.

The enshrined deity is "Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto"

In the legend of the Heavenly Rock Cave, it is said that this god danced in front of the cave to lure out Amaterasu Omikami who had hidden herself!

Since there is no one stationed there, you can take your time to face the shrine and worship.

The couple cedar trees on the left, estimated to be 500 years old, are a must-see!
