[Furumine Shrine/Tochigi Prefecture] A hidden gem in Kanuma!? Tengu no Mori

Furumine Shrine in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 A shrine located deep in the mountains near the Oashi River. It is also called the "birthplace of Nikko" because Shodo Shonin, who is said to be the founder of Nikko Mountain, practiced his training here. During the era when Shugendo was very much in the air, it was a custom for monks from all over Nikko to practice their training here at Furuminegahara. The enshrined deity is Emperor Yamato Takeru. There are many Tengu👺 in the precincts. Tengu are messengers of the enshrined deity, and are said to ward off disasters that befall you. You can also stay overnight and view the inside! Don't miss the large Tengu and Karasu Tengu, which are thought to have been donated by worshippers. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Furumine Shrine ꕥAddress: 3027 Kusaku, Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌🚏Kanuma Station → 🚏Furumine Shrine → approx. 3 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #ShrineTour #ShrinesTemples #ShrineVisit #TochigiTrip
