[Nara Sightseeing] Visit the oldest temple in Japan

Ogami Shrine is said to be the oldest shrine in Japan, and its sacred object is Mount Miwa itself. There is no main hall, and instead, worshippers pray from the worship hall through the three torii gates toward the mountain. Mount Miwa is a sacred mountain🗻 where Omononushi-no-Okami (Okuni-sama), who opened up the country, is said to have left his spirit there. It is known as a "power spot," and has long been revered as a sacred place revered as a "mountain where gods dwell"! It is said that since ancient times, it has not been permitted to cut down even a single tree or blade of grass on Mount Miwa, the sacred object of the mountain, with an axe. The approach to the shrine, overgrown with large trees such as pine, cedar, and cypress, was enveloped in a nostalgic and gentle atmosphere 🌱𓂃 𓈒𓏸 [Recommended spots] ❶ Praying for love Meoto Iwa (Couple Rocks) for praying for a good relationship ···▸The two rocks are called Meoto Iwa because they are close to each other, and are worshiped by people who pray for a good relationship or marital harmony 👩❤️👨 ❷Patting Rabbit 🐰 ···▸ The deity of Ogami Shrine is Omononushi-no-Okami, who is also known for saving the "White Rabbit of Inaba."
