What To Expect
Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine
Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine (2619 Kamishikimi, Takamori-machi, Aso, Kumamoto Prefecture) Nestled deep in a mystical cedar forest, this shrine is famous for its stone lantern path, moss-covered steps, and tranquil atmosphere. Often called a “power spot” in Japan, it has also appeared in anime and is beloved by travelers seeking both spirituality and natural beauty.
Amano Iwato Shrine
Amano Iwato Shrine, located in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, is linked to the myth of the sun goddess Amaterasu, who hid in a cave, causing darkness to spread. To lure her out, the other gods held a festival, which ultimately restored light to the world. The shrine, situated near this sacred cave, is a site of worship for blessings from Amaterasu and is known for its natural beauty and spiritual significance.
