[Okayama Prefecture] Kibitsu Shrine, the mythical land of the Momotaro legend

\\I'm glad I went in 2023//
Kibitsujinja Shrine, the first shrine in Sanbi, is a shrine dedicated to Okibitsuhiko-no-Mikoto and Ura (the demon), who are said to be the models for Momotaro. The main hall, a national treasure, is a magnificent main hall that was rebuilt in 1425 (Oei 32) during the Muromachi period. In addition, the 360-meter-long corridor was rebuilt in 1579 (Tensho 7) and was built in a straight line following the natural terrain. (Prefecture-designated Important Cultural Property)
The grounds were very spacious and it was a wonderful shrine with a lot to see.
