#Udo Jingu

[claarz000]

Another dream come true to finally go here and see this amazing view.

Udo Jingu is a 1.5 hr bus ride from Miyazaki Station. The bus ride is covered when you avail the Miyazaki Bus Pass. It was a long winding road on the way, but I thought the views were stunning so it was all good!

At the shrine, there is kind of an “activity” where you throw 5 clay pebbles and if it lands in the rope circle, you will have good luck. Guess what, my first try, it landed straight in. No documentation but an ojiisan was my witness and we were both amazed! Anyway, my only wishes then was to be able to not miss my bus back to the city (it was an infrequent bus, and I have some tendencies to miss scheduled buses due to whatever reasons huhu) and for a safe flight home in a few days (the weather was really bad then and flights are getting cancelled). Be it due to my good luck from throwing the pebble into the rope circle or whatever, all my wishes then came true. It felt great.

After a 10-day long devastating eruption of Mount Fuji in 864, Kawaguchi Asama Shinto Shrine was built the following year to worship the goddess of Mount Fuji, Asama no Okami (浅間大神).

Every year, on 25th April and 28th July, the traditional chigo no mai (稚児の舞; children’s dance) is performed to appease the god. Children aged 11 to 12 years old, typically girls, dance in front of the shrine to the tune of flutes.  

2. Shirahige Shrine – Shiga

Situated in Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan. Shirahige Shrine is dedicated to Sarutahiko of Mikoto, the god of longevity.

After sunset, the torii gate is lit up for 2 hours on weekends and even longer on special days such as New Year’s Eve.

3. Futami Okitama Shrine – Ise

Popular among newlyweds and couples, Futami Okitama Shrine is the place to be for those seeking blessings in their love life and marriage.

The Meoto Iwa (夫婦岩), or “wedded rocks” are inseparable pair of rocks – the big one representing the husband and the small one the wife – are connected by a shimenawa (sacred rice straw rope).

4. Motonosumi Shrine – Yamaguchi

Legend has it that in 1955, the spirit of a white fox instructed a local to build a shrine. Obliging the deity’s request, the man built and lined 123 red torii gates along the edge of a cliff.

Today, the shrine attracts visitors who are hoping to pray for wealth, studies, pregnancy, and even fishing.

5. Takaya Shrine – Kagawa

Dubbed the “torii in the sky”, Takaya Shrine in Kagawa Prefecture sits atop the 404m-tall Mount Inazumi. The torii gate of the main shrine overlooks a panoramic view of the city of Kanonji and Seto Inland Sea.  

6. Sakurai Futamigaura – Fukuoka

While the Meoto Iwa in Ise is better known for its sunrise views, travellers flock to Sakurai Futamigaura in Fukuoka to watch the sun set.

Every May, a ceremony is held during low tide to change the shimenawa. As the rope measures over 30m in length – almost half the width of a football field – and weighs over 900kg, as many as 50 people are mobilized for the switch.

7. Udo Shrine – Miyazaki

The cliffside Udo Shrine is perched on the rocky Nichinan Coast, south of Miyazaki City, surrounded by magnificent waves.

Legend has it that Toyotama-hime, a goddess of the dragons and sea, went into labour on land. A maternity hall was built in a hurry, in a sacred cave, and Toyotama-hime gave birth to Ugayafukiaezu no Mikoto, who was later enshrined as a deity.  

Today, the birthplace is better known as the main shrine of Udo Shrine. Thanks to its history, a visit to the shrine is considered to be beneficial for couples trying to conceive, and expecting mothers praying for a safe pregnancy.  

8. Amano Iwato Shrine – Miyazaki

According to Japanese mythology, the sun goddess Amaterasu hid in this cave after a destructive battle with her brother. Refusing to come out of the cave, her isolation cast darkness over the world. It was only when the other gods and goddesses came together to devise a plan that Amaterasu was lured out, returning light to the world.  

The period between November to February is the prime time to visit as that’s when the annual Takachiho Kagura – a shinto ritual consisting of festive folk dances – is held. The main event is held on 22nd and 23rd November, but the dances are performed every night between November and February.  

9. Kuratake Shrine – Kumamoto

The remote shrine was built to protect the sea and to pray for the safety of fishermen. For that reason, you’ll find a ship-shaped vessel filled with empty shells of mina, a shellfish native to the sea of Amakusa, in front of the shrine.

Due to a flood in 1972, the mountain trail was closed to the public and only reopened in 2012. As a result, the shrine completely went under the radar, privy to only the most savvy of locals and budding photographers.

10. Naminoue Shrine – Naha

Image credit: @cliff511299

As the most prestigious shrine in Okinawa, Naminoue Shrine is widely revered as one of the 8 special Ryukyu shrines since the Ryukyu Kingdom era.

Affectionately nicknamed “Nanmin-san” by Okinawan natives, Naminoue Shrine is a power spot that can grant blessings for everything, from matchmaking to pest control. The date of the shrine’s founding is unknown, but it is believed that the roots can be traced back to when locals prayed to Nirai Kanai (ニライカナイ) – god’s world in the distance of the sea – for abundant harvests.

Moai Statues at Sun Messe Nichinan, Miyazaki, Japan

Sun Messe is the only place outside of Easter Island that you can see the Moai statues (replicas). Free parking, ¥700 entry for adults. The view is astounding and the restaurant at the top of the hill is a good place to try some chicken nanban. Stop here for an early lunch before driving the Miyazaki coast or visiting Udo Jingu. There is also an interfaith shrine dedicated to peace and nuclear disarmament further up from the restaurant, a collection of mounted butterflies and beetles from around the world, and a small museum on the restoration project of Moai statues on Easter Island. Not much to do but enjoy the view, but what a view it is.

Udo Jingu Shrine, Miyazaki

[the-evil-twin]

Miyazaki | Japan's natural paradise Rachel & Jun “Miyazaki is easily the most beautiful prefecture we've been to so far, and it didn't make it in this video but it's also the prefecture that founded chicken nanban, THE BEST JAPANESE FOOD DISH EVER. Miyazaki is said to produce the best chicken in Japan (which my tastebuds can confirm) because their chickens are free-ranging and healthy. Chicken nanban in Miyazaki is a 10000% ABSOLUTE MUST if you can eat chicken. The places we went in this video are Takachiho Gorge, Aya Teruha suspension bridge, and Udo Jingu. There's so much nature to explore, and because Miyazaki is so far out of the way, there aren't as many tourists here as there are in most places in Honshu, so you can still get a feel of the untouched nature.”
