Speaking of sacred places in Japan, we can think easily Kyoto, Nara, and Mount Fuji. In addition, Japanese people can easily think Ise shrine, Izumo shrine, and Takachiho region in Kyushu. And also, Kumano-kodo is world heritage.
There are numerous sacred places in Japan, a small country surrounded on all four sides by ocean.
In recent years, people not only from everywhere in Japan but also in the world have been more and more attracted by such places as “Power spots”
Something special and wonderful there is. That’s why the sacred places in Japan continue to bring together from anywhere in the big wide world.
For example, it may be brilliant green, or beauty of snow and ice provided by severe cold. Any time and time again no matter how much time goes by you can see the peaceful scene, such as sky, green and rustic buildings when you close your eyes.
Invisible aroma of earth and flower and green, clean air, clean fresh water you can feel.
And it is also attractive to encounter the delicious local food.
In the conversation as “a once in a lifetime”, you may be able to receive the message which you really need.
It may be your own intuition, and which is really splendid, beyond all description.
I hope there will be something you need in Japanese sacred places.
By the way, I would like to take you on a tour of the world of Japanese Mythology.
Above all, I would like to cover the main part of mythology written in “Kojiki” and “Nihon Shoki”. The both are Japan’s oldest history books created in ancient time, more than 1000 years ago. And there is a lot of mystery with much romanticism.
Today, both are generally and collectively called “KiKi-mythology” as the best known works of Japanese mythology. After the series of KiKi-mythology”, we cover the books of mythology such as “Hudoki”, which rooted in the local area.
These mythologies are rustic stories set in Japan.
And for no special reason, these are partially and remarkably similar to any other mythologies which told in many continents of the world such as Greek mythology though these had been born and raised in Japan, the small island country surrounded on all four sides by ocean.
And of course there are unique imaginations that you may be surprised.
And now I think that you can feel not only unique culture of Japan but also common culture in ancient times around the world.
You can find something that seems to bring your memory back and something new in the story of God which has come down us from the ancient people including those who had believed “There is a perfect world beyond the sea”.
When you would journey to the sacred places,
Stand up in peace on the ground of sacred places,
Bring back memories of grand dream in mythology,
You could open a door into the ancient times and find something that Japanese mythology has intended to come down to us.
It is my great pleasure if you use this site for your spiritually rich journey to the Japanese sacred places to find something special only for you.
Japan is very beautiful country.
Have a safe journey!
