Kirishima Jingu
The shrine of the grandson of the Sun Goddess, nestled in mist-covered mountains.
A beautiful shrine located at the foot of Mt. Kirishima. It is dedicated to Ninigi-no-Mikoto, who descended from heaven to this mountain range. The shrine is famous for its connection to Japan's founding mythology and Sakamoto Ryoma's honeymoon.
神社歷史緣起
This shrine is dedicated to Ninigi-no-Mikoto, the grandson of Amaterasu, who descended to the peak of Mt. Takachiho-no-mine (part of the Kirishima range). The shrine was originally built near the summit but was destroyed by volcanic eruptions multiple times. The current location was established in 1715.
It is famously known as the place where Sakamoto Ryoma, a key figure in the Meiji Restoration, visited on Japan's first recorded honeymoon with his wife Oryo.

The Vermilion main hall stands out beautifully against the deep green cedar forest. The 'Goshinboku' (sacred cedar tree) is said to be 800 years old.
The 'Sazareishi' stone, mentioned in Japan's national anthem, can be found here. The shrine atmosphere is solemn and mystical, often shrouded in mountain mist.
重大祭典
The 'Tenson Korin Gojin-ka' festival in November involves burning sacred fires on the mountain summit to welcome the gods.
