"""Takamagahara ""is the name of heaven according to Japanese mythology. Its name literally means ""the world above the heavens,"" and it is said to have existed before the Earth was created. Its name appears in the beginning of the ancient ""Kojiki"" historical record as the place from which the gods were born. Takamagahara Yohaijo is located on a small hill extending south from Kushifuru Shrine. According to legend, this small hill is where gods would pray to heaven from afar in yearning after they had descended to Earth, and it is known as a mystical ""power spot"" where heaven and Earth are connected."
