Amanoiwato Shrine

Amanoiwato Shrine is a significant Shinto shrine located in Takachiho, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. It is dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu and is deeply connected to the ancient Japanese myth of her hiding in a cave, causing the world to be plunged into darkness. The shrine is divided into two parts: the main shrine and a hidden cave, believed to be the actual site where Amaterasu hid. The area is surrounded by lush greenery, with a serene atmosphere that draws both spiritual seekers and those interested in Japan's rich mythology. Visitors often participate in guided tours to catch a glimpse of the sacred cave, which is not accessible to the public on their own.
