Saruta Hiko Shrine

Saruta Hiko Shrine

Saruta Hiko Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Saruta Hiko no Okami, the deity of "road-opening" in Japanese mythology. Saruta Hiko no Okami guided Ninigi no Mikoto to Takachiho during the descent of the heavenly grandchild and has the power to lead beginnings and directions towards favorable outcomes. When visiting, it is recommended to touch the octagonal "Directional Stone" located in front of the main shrine. This stone was once a sacred place where the divine seat was located. Within the shrine grounds, there is also Sarume Shrine, which enshrines Ame no Uzume no Mikoto, the goddess of entertainment, and is believed to be a site for enhancing performing arts and connecting relationships. Located near Ise Jingu's Naikū, the shrine is cherished by people praying for traffic safety and new beginnings.
