    Two shrines in one precinct are the only ones in Japan

    Original Text

    There are only two shrines in one precinct in Japan, and Kunikake Jingu is Kii Kuni Ichinomiya. Both shrines have mirrors made to call Amaterasu from Amaiwado as their divine bodies, and the main shrine is made symmetrically. I think it's amazing that it has been said that two of them have been lined up in this area since the 7th century BC, and there was a unique atmosphere that was worth believing.

    Ise Shrine と Tongxuan, Shenqi なしの Bieger の Shrine

    Original Text

    Two shrines, Mae Jingu and Kunikake Jingu, are lined up on the same site. It was founded in the second year of Emperor Jinmu, a very old shrine. Both shrines are described as mirrors and in the Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan), they were cast before the Hachiman mirror. Like Ise Jingu, it was an exceptional shrine where the imperial court could not hold the shrine floor. The shrine is enshrined in parallel in the forest, and construction was carried out at national expense in 1919, and all the buildings in the precincts were newly rebuilt. Worship before 8 am ...

    i'm talking about ichinomiya in kii province.

    Original Text

    The deity of Mae Jingu is Mae Okami, and the deity of Kunikake Jingu is Kunikake Okami, both of which are Meishin University Shikinaisha, and the former Kanpei Taisha shrine is Kii Kuni Ichinomiya. Originally, Ichinomiya in Kii Province, it is said that Niu Tohime Shrine and Itakoso Shrine joined Ichinomiya later. There is a free parking lot. Unfortunately, photography in the precincts is prohibited.

    Ji Yi の National Palace です

    Original Text

    It is not a shrine with such a large precinct, 2~3 minutes walk from Jingu Station before the day. After passing the shrine office, there is a knee-level fence, and when you pass here, it becomes a thick forest. I didn't shoot the area inside because there was a tag on the fence that prohibited shooting, but many other worshipers are taking pictures. Inside, there is a shrine separated from the previous Jingu and Kunikake Jingu. Personally, walking in this forest was the most memorable thing.

    the entrance to the shrine is the same.

    Original Text

    The entrance to the shrine is the same, and if you cross a small stone bridge, you will find the site of the shrine. Go straight on the approach, and at the end you will find Kunikake Jingu on the right and Mae Jingu on the left. It is a lush forest with very quiet inside, rustling, giant trees and moss. The dust of about 10 branch temples of each 々 is lined up.
