Kirishima Shrine

#naturalscape Kirishima Jingu Shrine in Kagoshima Prefecture was built in the 6th century AD and is an ancient shrine with a long history. As the largest shrine in southern Kyushu, it is also a must-visit place for many travelers. Kirishima is called "Island" because the mountains here are often surrounded by clouds and mist, and the looming peaks look like small islands floating in the sea. Kirishima is also a place that has a deep connection with the gods. It has been said to be the "place where the descendants of the gods descended" since ancient times, and it is said that Japan began here. Kirishima Jingu Shrine is the highest level shrine that enshrines the gods. Kirishima Jingu Shrine is said to have been built in the 6th century to enshrine the God of Heaven who founded the Japanese dynasty, Jōjo no Tsun. The current temple was rebuilt in the 18th century. Kirishima Jingu Shrine is designated as a national treasure. Not only tourists from Japan and abroad come here just to see the shrine. A "Sand Stone" is enshrined next to the shrine path with towering ancient trees. This "Sand Stone" is sung in the Japanese national anthem "King no Shidai" and is also a spiritual sustenance. The quiet, solemn and solemn Zhu Hongse Palace is located in a lush forest. There is an ancient cedar tree on the right hand side of the pilgrimage path, which is called the "Original Tree". This 37-meter-tall cedar tree, said to be 800 years old, silently watches over the shrine day and night. It is said that there is a god living on the "Oshen Tree". Looking up at the cedar tree, if you are a "destined person", you will definitely be able to sense the mystery. In Kirishima Jingu Shrine, in addition to "Qiongqiongzun", his wife and descendants are also enshrined, a total of 7 gods that appear in Japanese mythology. This place also blesses "good marriages", "full descendants", "prosperous business", "traffic safety", "healing from diseases" and "dispelling misfortunes", etc., and it is said that they are all quite effective. It is rare to go to the famous energy attraction "Kirishima Shrine". Of course, you must seize the opportunity to pray for the blessings of the gods. You can also obtain blessings from the gods by buying a guardian or praying for spiritual fortune. The "couple's guard", which consists of a husband guard and a wife guard, is a guard that protects the couple from growing old together. Kirishima Shrine enshrines "Qiong Qiongji Zun" and his wife "Konohana Kaiye Hime". It is also famous because "Sakamoto Ryoma", a patriot of Japan's Tokugawa Restoration, and his wife Aron visited during their honeymoon trip. The blue and red kimono pattern design of Kirishima Shrine's "Couple's Guard" is inspired by Sakamoto Ryoma and his wife. If a husband or wife holds this pair of guardians, it may make their relationship better. Definitely! In awe of the power of nature, walking into the forest is another world, with the singing of birds, the dancing of leaves, and the sound of running water, feel the nature!
