Aso is a stage of mythology that represents Kumamoto, but there are many other stages of mythology in Kyushu. Visiting the land where the gods of the heavens descend or meet may lead us to a blissful journey.
The strongest spot of "Kojiki" related to Kyushu!
Kyushu Shrine 1. Takachiho Shrine (Miyazaki Prefecture)
A heavenly land tradition site, a total company in Takachiho village
Takachiho, the home of Japanese mythology. It is too famous as the place where Amaterasu Ogizumi brought Niginomito, the grandson, to the ground in order to rule the orphans. Aoi-san descended from the gods who played an active part in Ama-no-iwato (Amanoto Iwato) opening and national entrustment myths. The total company of Takachiho eighty-eight companies is Takachiho Shrine. Founded during the Emperor Uinin period, and the main festival deity is Takachiho Okami. Takachiho Kagura, which is dedicated every night in the precinct, offers four typical dances from Kagura No. 33 at night.

Shrines of Kyushu 2. Amaiwato Shrine (Miyazaki Prefecture)
The land of the climax of "Taniwado hiding" legend
The Iwato area where the Amiwato Shrine is located is a stage of mythology. The Goddess of Nishimotogu of Amaniwato Shrine is the "Amaniwato" (a cave) in which Amaterasu Ogami is hidden. The Higashimotogu Shrine is transmitted to the place where Amaterasu Ogami first came out of Amaniwado, and the Amaterasu Ogami is enshrined. On the Nishimotonomiya side, Amaiwado guidance by the priest is held to worship the divine body. If you go further, you can visit the Tian'an Kawahara where the gods had a meeting. I really want to go around slowly.

Shrines of Kyushu 3. Shido Shrine (Miyazaki Prefecture)
A place where the stage of "Kojiki" moved to the world of people
Udojingu (Udjingu) with a brightly painted main hall in the cave of the cliff. This cave is a sacred place known to have been built by the birthplace of Toyoda Himeito, the wife of Hikohode Mikoto, who is known by the name of Yukihiko Yama. The dynamic location is impressive. It is said that the founding was the 10th Emperor Shinjin period (1st century BC), and it is enshrined as the father and father of the Emperor Takemu. After the worship, let's pray for the fulfillment of each wish with the “unlucky ball” that throws a ball into the hole in the turtle stone in front of the main hall.

Shrines of Kyushu 4. Kirishima Jingu (Kagoshima Prefecture)
Shinto shrine of Tenjin to be located in Kagoshima Prefecture
Japanese mythology is full of many mysteries. There are multiple theories as to where Takachiho of Tenjin was. The same tradition is retained in Takachihoho on the Kagoshima prefectural border where Kirishima Jingu is enshrined. In this Kirishima Jingu Shrine, Zen is enshrined as the main festival deity. As a matter of fact, in which Takachiho was Zeng 降 り? If you actually visit the two Takachiho lands, something may be visible.
