Amanoyasukawara
A mystical power spot connected to Japanese mythology where stacking stones is believed to bring blessings.
Amanoiwato Shrine in Takachiho, Miyazaki Prefecture enshrines the "Amanoiwato" - the cave where the sun goddess Amaterasu is believed to have hidden, a significant episode in Japanese mythology. About a 10-minute walk along the Iwato River from its Nishihonganji (West Main Shrine) will lead you to "Amanoyasukawara." This location is said to be where the eight million deities gathered to discuss how to coax Amaterasu out of the cave.
A point of interest is the "Gyoboga Iwaya" cave by the stream. Inside this large cave is a shrine dedicated to the eight million deities, surrounded by countless stacked stones, exuding a mystical atmosphere. This scene originated from a belief among worshippers that stacking pebbles while praying would make their wishes come true. Over time, the number of stones has increased so much that they now reach up to the edge of the Iwato River, highlighting the spot's popularity as a power site.
The path to Amanoyasukawara, brimming with nature, is also popular as a walking trail. Along the way, a drum bridge spanning the Iwato River stands as another renowned power spot.
