    Nara Pref. Yoshinoguntotsukawamura Tamaigawa 1
    Tamaki-jinja Shrine is a miraculous shrine near the top of the 1,076 meter Mt. Tamaki at the southern end of the Omine Mountains. Legend says that the shrine was built in 37 B.C. in the era of Emperor Sujin in order to guard against fire at the imperial castle and to ward off evil spirits. The shrine is on the World Heritage Omine Okugake-michi (paths) and has prospered as a spiritual retreat for Buddhist Shugendo followers from Kumano and Omine for a very long time. In the grounds of the shrine are gigantic cedar trees including some cedar trees said to be 3,000 years old, and in 2004 the temple was designated a World Heritage Site under the name Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.

    Its really a beautiful shrine to feel nature, culture and history. Dont forget to hike up to Tamaishisha. If sky is clear, you can see the ocean from the shrine and the top of Mt. Tamaki.

    Nara Pref. Yoshinoguntenkawamura Dorogawa 494
    This is a temple located along the Dorogawa, Tenkawa Village on Prefectural Route 48. It was founded by Ennogyoujya as the main temple of the Daigo school of the Shingon sect approximately 1,300 years ago. It is a training ground for Japanese mountain asceticism-shamanism. The water from the spring water lake flowing from the Dragons Mouth in the precinct is the first ascetic training place of the Omine Mountain, where austerity practitioners gather to purify themselves.

    ここから吉野に向かう際洞川下市線48号をナビが示したので向かいましたが、とんでもない悪路の上、途中で通行禁止になりました。必死の思いでUターンして戻りましたが、対向車とすれ違い事のできない道です。 紅葉目当てなら11月中旬には訪れた方が良いと思います。 水行が出来る人工の滝がありました。 大峰山に修行に行く前のお寺です。 川を挟んだ所には昭和感いっぱいのレトロな旅館がたくさんあります。懐かしい...

The shrine is famous for attracting many entertainers to its doors. It also has a history of being the place where the Buddhist monk, Kobo Daishi, retreated to for a thousand days. The solemn atmosphere found here in the mountains cleanses the heart and in recent years it has become popular as a power spot. There is also a large collection of valuable artifacts related to Noh, and Noh performances are held at the shrine three times a year.

    Nara Pref. Yoshinogunkawakamimura Sako 869-1
    This shrine enshrines Takaokami-no-Okami, a Shinto dragon god said to control water and rain. It is famous for the more than 10 sekibo (stone phallic rods) of about 30 cm in length, thought to have been part of a ritual site from the Jomon period (circa 2000 BC), that were excavated at the shrine. The shrine is known to have been a key ritual site from the second half of the Nara period to the first half of the Heian period, making it a highly historically valuable shrine.

    駐車場も便利なところにあり、あまり歩かずに参拝できました。比較的新しい天空の神社という感じでした。ダム建設のため小高いところに移転したとのことでした。ここから見る風景は思ったよりすごくて秘境感がありました。

    Nara Yoshino-gun Higashi-yoshinomura Omura 968
    A shrine along the Omata-Ogawa Line road in Higashi-yoshino Village, Yoshino County. The principal enshrined deity is Mizuhanome-no-kami, a goddess of irrigation and rain. On the grounds is the thousand-year-old Kanae no Osugi cedar tree as well as the twin Aioi no Sugi cedar tree which embodies the virtue of happy marriage.

    各神社への所要時間は下社－中社が45分、上社-中社も45分程度でした。下社-中社ですと70分から80分かかるのではないでしょうか？。これだけ離れた関連神社を巡るの初めてでした。どれも秘境感あふれる場所にあるので、ドライブがてら巡るのがよろしいのではと思います。

    Nara Yoshino-gun Totsukawamura Ohara 225-1
    "This museum contains exhibits on Masao Nonagase a poet born in Totsukawa considered one of the village's five most important personages from around the time of the Meiji Restoration. Master painter Koji Kinutani's original ""Totsukawa ni noboru taiyo"" (""Sun Rising Over Totsukawa""), which was inspired by the devastation and reconstruction after the great Totsukawa flood of 1889, is also a must-see. In addition, the museum has exhibits on the country samurai of Totsukawa and the rebellious Tenchugumi, and also displays an ancient engraved bell which has been designated a National Important Cultural Property."

    Nara Yoshino-gun Tenkawamura Dorogawa 703
    According to records, this temple, a fundamental center for the Shugendo syncretic faith, was founded when the mystic En no Gyoja saw a vision of the deity Zao Gongen after engaging in a period of asceticism in 672 and carved a representation of the figure in a cherry tree, enshrining it in a temple. The temple's current main temple building was constructed in 1691. Thereafter, the temple expanded and reached its current scale in 1703. A rare extant example of a temple built on a high mountain and also one of the few remaining Shugendo temples, the temple is of high historic value and has been designated a National Important Cultural Property.

    Nara Yoshino-gun Nosegawamura Iketsukawa 347

    鳥の囀りや、澄んだ空気で溢れていて、とても癒される場所です。参道ですれ違う人達に「今日は」と挨拶すると、「今日は、ようお参り」と声をかけ合うような、素敵な人達が何度も参拝に来る所です。様子からも、素敵な神様だと思いました。

    Nara Yoshino-gun Tenkawamura Dorogawa 784-32

    センターのテーマは自然，水，修験道だそうです．吉野熊野国立公園・大峯山系の自然を紹介する情報発信基地であり，大峯山行場西ノ覗の3D体験コーナーがありましたが，覗く姿勢が苦しかったです．その他の展示品は非常に少なく感じました．無料の施設ですが，コロナ禍でもあり，来客者は私たちだけでした．

    源流の森シアターは是非見た方がいいです、川上村の自然がよくわかります、ただ巨大なスクリーンが５面もあって首の移動が忙しい。 定期的に水源地の森ツアーを実施しているようなので子供連れにもお勧め 駐車場は国道から道を１本川側へ入った場所でエレベーターもあります

    近畿三十六不動参拝でいきました。 境内は、広くいろいろなお堂や、修行場が有ります。 女性も滝行できるとのこと。 湧き水が綺麗で冷たく美味しかったです。 山の奥で、静謐ですし敬虔な信者さんも、沢山、いらっしゃるところなので、そのつもりで、お詣りしましょう。 剣に巻きついた龍王様から素晴らしいパワーを頂けます。 重い軽い石というのがあり、持てると願いは、叶うという言い伝えです。

    龍泉寺にお参りし、歩いてすぐのところに歴史博物館が… 思わず引き込まれて入って行きました。 こじんまりとした空間ですが、大峯山の歴史が詳しく分かる映像が流れており、気が付けば1時間以上滞在してました。 大峯山寺にお参りしたつもり？になれるようなそんな博物館です。

Nara Areas

around-area-map

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
