🇯🇵 [Gunma Prefecture] Haruna Shrine ⛩️ (^^) Let's go meet the Seven Lucky Gods! Located on the southern slope of Mt. Haruna, this ancient shrine is said to have been founded during the reign of Emperor Yomei (585-87) (^^) Since ancient times, it has attracted worshippers of Mt. Haruna as a sacred place for mountain Buddhism and Shugendo, and as a shrine for bountiful harvests and rain! (^^) In the precincts, which have a solemn atmosphere, there are giant trees, including the Yatate Cedar, a nationally designated natural monument where Takeda Shingen is said to have placed an arrow and prayed for victory when he attacked Minowa Castle during the Warring States period!
