Kagoshima Jingu Shrine

Kagoshima Jingu Shrine is known as Ichinomiya or 1st shrine of Osumi.

Beautiful pictures on the ceiling of the shrine building impressed us so much.

I took the video of the shrine for you. Please watch and enjoy.

Large sacred camphor trees create mysterious atmosphere.

At the time of visit, we had considered at which shrine we would have our marriage ceremony. I asked priestess of Kagoshima Jingu Shrine and she answered that many couples have had marriage ceremonies there.

It was rainy on that day, but rain creates relaxing atmosphere inside the shrine garden.

 

Worshiped God and Benefits

The shrine worships Hoori (Yamasachihiko) and his wife Toyotama-hime as main Gods. In addition to these 2 Gods, Ojin emperor and Jinko emperor are also worshipped.

Hoori is the grandfather of the 1st emperor Jinmu.

The tomb of Hoori “Takayayama Sanryo” is located at 13 km northwest of Kagoshima Jingu Shrine.
