Amanoiwato Shrine and Amanoyasugawara in Takachiho, Miyazaki, are the sites of the "Amanoiwato Legend," where Amaterasu Omikami hid. The mystical atmosphere is just like the legend, and just walking through it feels like your soul is being cleansed. 🌤️ Travel Itinerary Amanoiwato Shrine → Amanoyasugawara First, head to the "West Main Shrine of Amanoiwato Shrine." ⛩️ Here, you can worship the "Amanoiwato," where Amaterasu Omikami is said to have hidden, but only those with a guide can actually see it. A priest will guide you through the grounds, making the world of myth feel real. ✨ Since it's sacred grounds, photography is prohibited, so you have to see it for yourself! After that, it's a 10-minute walk to Amanoyasugawara. As you walk along the valley, you'll come across a mysterious sight: countless stones piled up inside a cave. This is said to be the place where the eight million gods gathered to discuss their wishes, and you can feel a mysterious energy in the tranquility.
