Kashihara Mitsu-gu Shrine stands in the village at the foot of the mountain. Its origins trace back to the distant past. This is the place of the heavenly grandchild's descent, where the footsteps of the gods extend from Ise to Nara. The sacred space that connects the world of mythology to the present exists here.
The shrine standing on the steep mountainside has a rare square-shaped rock cave. The spiritual power of the Dragon King residing in the rock cave protects this land. Climbing the approach, you can feel the presence of the gods and the weight of time.
Cherry blossoms announce the arrival of spring and adorn the approach. Amidst the blooming petals dancing in the air, let's quietly step into the sacred precincts. The scenery woven by the old trees and new greenery seems like the entrance to another world.
Kashihara Mitsu-gu Shrine blesses people with good fortune and marriage. Pray with sincerity for prosperity in business and a happy marriage. Your wish to tie a happy future with that important person will surely reach the gods.
At the end of the visit, be sure to stop by 'Mr. Wallet' within the precincts. This statue oversees good fortune, and it's said that your wishes will come true if you make an offering. Offer your heartfelt gratitude to the gentle smile on his face.
