Togakushi Shrine

Togakushi Shrine

The highly popular power spot "Togakushi Shrine" consists of five historic shrines: Okusha, Nakasha, Hobokusha, Kuzuryu Shrine, and Hi no Mikokami Shrine. Togakushi Mountain is believed to be the place where the "Ame no Iwato" (heavenly rock cave) descended in Japanese mythology, and deities related to the "Iwatobi Shinji" (rock cave opening ceremony) are enshrined here. The approach to Okusha is lined with cedar trees over 400 years old, creating a mystical atmosphere, and has been designated as a historic site and natural monument in Nagano Prefecture. This place, where history and nature intertwine, is well worth a visit.
