[Shizuoka] Hamamatsu's Sky Shrine

This time, we will introduce Akihayama Hongu Akiha Shrine, also known as the "Shrine in the Sky." There are Akiha Shrines all over the country, but this one in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture is the main shrine. Kagutsuchi, famous as the god of fire, is enshrined here. Akihayama Hongu Akiha Shrine has an "Kamisha" and a "Shimosha," and please note that this is the "Kamisha." Apparently, the official (?) route is to walk from the Shimosha to the Kamisha. However, it will take you two hours to climb a mountain at an altitude of 750m, so you will need to be determined and physically fit. If you go by car, you will have to drive for nearly 40 minutes on a narrow forest road, so you will also need to be determined. It seems that there are special buses that run depending on the season, but depending on the year, they may not run, so please check before you go. ◆The Torii of Happiness◆ The highlight is the golden "Torii of Happiness." Its appearance as if it is floating in the sky was a spectacular sight. A golden straw ring will be set up at the end of June for the "Summer Purification" and at the end of the year for the "New Year Purification". Please check the official website for details such as the timing. ◆Kamikeiwa◆ A large flint found on Mt. Akihabara. When struck with a flint, sparks fly. You can make prayers for protection from evil, purification, fire prevention, etc. ◆Tengu Fortune Telling◆ You can experience something called "Tengu Fortune Telling" based on the legend that a tengu lives on Mt. Akihabara and competes for the power of wishes by throwing plates. You make a wish by throwing a plate with your wish written on it at a ring in the distance. It seems that your wish will be valid even if it does not pass through the ring, so please try it♪ #tripmemory2022 #Hamamatsu #HamamatsuCity #SkyWalk #Shrine #ShrineTour #ShrineTour #PowerSpot
