Explore the Mysterious Land of Miyazaki

There is a mysterious mythological secret place in Takachiho, Miyashi Prefecture. It is a cave hidden in the mountains and valleys, called Amayasu Riverside. If you want to come here, it is best to learn about the related mythological stories to increase the interest. According to legend, Amaterasu, the ancestor of the Japanese emperor, once hid in the Amano Iwato Cave and made the world dark. The gods gathered in Amayasu Riverside to attract Amaterasu with singing and dancing, and pulled her out when Amaterasu poked her head out of the cave, and the world saw light again from then on. To get to Tenyasu Riverside, follow the signs near Nishihongu Shrine of Amano Iwato Shrine and walk into the small path. Then walk through the valley forest trail for about 15 minutes to reach a riverside cave. There is an island house and a small shrine in the cave. The light in the cave is dim, the air is humid and full of mystery. This is Tenyasu Riverside. The ground and the big rocks in the river are covered with countless small stone piles, which are piled up by tourists for prayers. When you leave, you can visit the Nishihongu Shrine of Amano-Iwato Shrine and have a bite to eat at a nearby roadside cafe. #Japan and Korea City Attractions #Overseas Travel #Miyazaki #Takachiho #Tianyasu River
