[Miyazaki] Open the door to mythology ⛩️ A trip to purify your soul at Amanoiwato Shrine
Amanoiwato Shrine, whose sacred object is the "Amanoiwato" where Amaterasu Omikami is said to have hid, is a sacred place in Japanese mythology ✨
The two shrines, Nishi-Hongu and Higashi-Hongu, are located on either side of the Iwato River, and you can also have the special experience of viewing the "Amanoiwato" guided by a priest! A further 10-minute walk away is Amanoyasugawara, a mysterious cave where eight million gods are said to have gathered, where you can feel the overwhelming power 🌌
The grounds are full of things to see, such as the sacred tree "Shorei no Ki" and the glass-floored bridge "Amanoukihashi" 🌿
The goshuincho (stamped book) is also beautiful, and the Kagura design makes it the perfect memento of your trip 🎴
