Begin your journey at Kamishiromi Kumanoza Shrine, a sacred site known for its elegant wooden architecture and tranquil forest surroundings. Learn about ancient Shinto traditions as you take part in time-honored rituals that honor the local deities.

Continue to Amano Iwato Shrine, deeply tied to Japanese mythology and the legendary sun goddess Amaterasu. Stroll through its peaceful grounds and hear fascinating tales from your guide about the cave where Amaterasu is said to have hidden, plunging the world into darkness.
