The Sacred Land of Flow: The Thousand Year Story of Kashii Shrine

#FukuokaItinerary Stepping into Kashii Palace is like walking into the slow river of time. The long approach to the shrine is surrounded by ancient trees. Sunlight can be vaguely seen dancing among the lush branches and leaves, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of wood and grass dew. As you approach the vermilion main hall step by step, the unique "Kaoshii-zukuri" architectural style, which is simple yet solemn, makes you admire the ancient people's awe of nature and faith. In front of the altar, I bowed my head gently and silently recited my wishes in my heart. The tranquility around me seemed to turn all distracting thoughts into nothingness. In the courtyard, an ancient sacred tree towers into the sky. It is said that it guards the sanctity and peace of Kashii Palace and has never changed for a long time. A drizzle suddenly began to fall, with water droplets gently dripping onto the stone lanterns and moss, adding a touch of soft aura to this ancient divine land. At Kashii Shrine, I felt an indescribable tranquility and power, as if every leaf and every breeze here were telling a thousand-year-old story, making people linger and reluctant to leave.
