Nagano🇯🇵Tonokuni Shrine

#5月好去处2025 The connection of the gods comes from the history of Togakushi. According to the classic Japanese legend, Amaterasu was very angry with her brother, so she locked herself in a cave and became invisible. Without Amaterasu, the world became chaotic and dark, and the gods began to try their best to lure Amaterasu out. One god was very good at dancing, and started to dance some funny dances and make laughter, trying to arouse Amaterasu's curiosity and lure her to open the door. Sure enough, Amaterasu opened the door out of curiosity, and in an instant, a strong god took away the rock gate and threw it away at the moment Amaterasu opened the door. Legend has it that the rock gate fell in the forest of Nagano Prefecture, and the place was named "Togakushi".
