I visited Nakanotake Shrine at a good time when the cherry blossoms were in bloom. And it was a fine day. The large Daikoku-sama (big daisaku) stands out against the blue sky, and the deity, Todorokiwa (a rock formation), stands tall. Myogi-san is one of the Three Great Scenic Spots of Japan. The strange rocks and rock peaks are overwhelming, with a ruggedness and natural beauty, the more you look at them. It's definitely worth seeing! ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❥❥History The shrine has long been dedicated to Hakoso-kami, the god of Mt. Myogi. Myogi-san was originally called Hakoso-yama (mountain). It is said that when Emperor Yamato Takeru climbed Mt. Myogi, he defeated bandits who were bothering the villagers. As a result, the enshrined deity became Emperor Yamato Takeru. During the reign of Emperor Kinmei, the shrine was built by the Myokata clan. The shrine developed based on the belief that a god would descend from the giant rock, Todorokiwa. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Nakanotake Shrine 🚗 15 minutes from Matsuida-Myogi IC on Joshinetsu Expressway 🚗 25 minutes from Shimonita IC 🚕 25 minutes from Shimonita Station ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Nakanotake Shrine #Shrine tour #Gunma sightseeing #Gunma Trip
