Kirishima Jingu Shrine in Kagoshima Prefecture is a shrine with a long history. It is said to have been founded in the 6th century and is one of the most famous places of interest in Southern Kyushu. The quiet shrine is surrounded by thick greenery, exuding a quiet and sacred atmosphere. Behind the shrine is a beautiful main store painted in vermilion, which is designated as a national important mythological asset. The shrine has an 800-year-old sacred tree and a power spot known as the Seven Mysterious Legends of Kirishima. Kirishima Jingu also has beautiful maple leaves in autumn, which is the best season to view them.
The shrine is actually not big, but because there is no car leaving, I walked around and found a mountain shrine with only stones. I couldn't take pictures of the forest torii. It was another place where I felt the spiritual energy overflowed! In fact, there are still many shrines like this in Japan. Walking inside, because the garden is full of green, it is a bit similar to Meiji Shrine!
