#Travelingwithme I have always longed for Izanagi Shrine Japan's oldest shrine, dedicated to Izanagi-no-Mikoto and Izanami-no-Mikoto, who appear in the creation myths in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki And the mystery of how shrines related to Izanagi-no-Mikoto line up in a straight line in the direction of the sun on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes and the summer and winter solstices Is it possible to accurately measure latitude and longitude from such ancient times? Could the movement of the sun be known? I forgot to take a picture, but if you look at the stone monument called "Sun Signpost", you can see the relative positions of the shrines.

Izanagi Shrine on Awaji Island. This is the land associated with the creation myth, and is recorded in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki!

#DomesticTrip During my trip to Awaji Island, I visited Izanagi Shrine, the Ichinomiya of Awaji Province. It is the oldest shrine in Japan, said to have been built by Izanami-no-Mikoto, the god who created Japan, who appears in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. When I heard that it was the oldest shrine in Japan, I definitely wanted to visit it. There were lanterns standing for kilometers on both sides of the shrine, and I was excited even before I entered. When I entered the shrine, there was a large 900-year-old tree called the Couple's Great Camphor Tree. It is popular for marital harmony, safe childbirth, and good relationships. There was also a very beautiful garden, with many carp swimming in it. I was surprised at how mysterious the diagram showing the relative positions of shrines in Japan, with this shrine at the center, was. Please take a look. It is a sacred place, and it is not too large, so I was able to look around at my leisure. The parking lot is free and relatively empty, so I recommend it. 📍Address: 740 Taga, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture, 656-1521

The story of the creation of the world, the "Kuni-omi Shinwa" (Myth of the Creation of the Land), is written in the Kojiki. The oldest shrine in Japan, which enshrines the god that appears at the beginning of the story, is located on Awaji Island. I wanted to visit the historic Izanagi Shrine at least once, so I visited Awaji Island to combine a trip to a hot spring with a trip to a hot spring. After passing through the large torii gate, there is a wide approach to the shrine, and I went straight ahead. The blue sky spread out before me, and it felt very divine! After praying, I strolled around the grounds. A large and magnificent camphor tree caught my eye. It is said to be the "Couple Camphor Trees," a natural monument designated by Hyogo Prefecture that is about 900 years old. It was originally two trees that merged as they grew. It's amazing! It's moving to see it in front of you. After enjoying a stroll for about an hour, I headed to the hot spring inn. I definitely recommend visiting this place on your sightseeing course. #AwajishimaTourism #AwajishimaTrip

This is the "Hinowakamiya and the Signpost of the Sun" at Izanagi Shrine. It is a romantic stone monument that was also featured on a certain TV program. It shows the relationship between the movement of the sun with Izanagi Shrine at its center and famous shrines. Due east is Ise Shrine (Naiku), due west is Umikami Shrine (Tsushima), at the place of sunrise on the summer solstice is Suwa Taisha (Lake Suwa), at the place of sunset is Izumo Taisha and Hinomisaki Shrine, at the place of sunrise on the winter solstice is Kumano Nachi Taisha (Nachi Otaki), and at the place of sunset is Takachiho Shrine (Miyazaki Prefecture). If you think about the theory that Awaji Island is the core where the gods reside, this is a recommended monument that will give you a sense of mythological romance.
