Mikisato Shrine

God's viewpoint from ancient times

Original Text

A shrine is sinking in this region while the large cedar and camphor trees grow. The mountains along the Kumano Owase Road continue to be planted and cut, but originally such a deep forest continued around here. Looking up at the mountains north from the sea side of the village, the most dense place is Mikisato Shrine. When you climb the slope and cross the JR Kisei Line, large and small shrines are enshrined. There is no explanation about the deity or origin. There are honen Ji Temple and elementary school when going west on the hill side of the track.

I am participating in the Kumano Kodo, but when I come here, the first day of the journey is over.

Miki Pass is also at an altitude of ６４７ｍ, and this is a height that seems to be called "mountain top" rather than a pass. The altitude is exactly the same as the summit of Mt. Yaki, which has just climbed and passed. I took the course on the Meiji Expressway and finally went down the mountain. I feel relieved when I come this far. This is a shrine in Miki no Sato, a shrine with a well-known scale but a historical appearance. After passing through the cobblestones, it was this shrine at a fork where you can reach the sea of Miki and your visibility spreads.
