    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 Tsubonouchi 107
    Tenkawa Daibenzaiten-sha Shrine (Tenkawa-jinja) is a shrine dedicated to Benzaiten (Sarasvati), the deity of art and music. It is considered one of the Three Great Shrines of Benzaiten. 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 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 Shimokitayama Mura Ikemine

    雨の日に言われある池を訪ねると、実に神秘的でした。何かが宿っているような場所です。雨の冷気が霊気を呼ぶような感じがありました。長い歴史を肌で感じます。

Nara Areas

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.
