An incredible view of the shrine

#getgoing2025 Kami-Iromi Kumanoza Shrine in Takamori-cho, Aso-gun, became a hot topic on SNS after it became the stage of an anime in 2011. There are about 100 lanterns lined up on the way to the worship hall, and the fantastic scene is like a staircase leading to a different world. There is a large rock hole called Shitoiwa on the back of the worship hall, and because it runs through a huge rocky mountain, it is said to have the benefit of passing the exam and winning. It is said that this is a hole made when the servant of Kenban Ryu no Mikoto, the Onihachi Hoshi, kicked through. It is located up a steep slope from the worship hall. There is bamboo as a substitute for a cane, but it is a good idea to wear familiar shoes when visiting.
