Over 2,000 years ago, Yamato Hime no Mikoto is said to have traveled to find a suitable place to enshrine Amaterasu Omikami and founded the current IseJingu. This is a model course where you can follow the footsteps of the princess of the 11th Emperor, Emperor Suinin, and learn about the history of Saiku, the saikuu where Saio lived.

START

Takiharanomiya (Kotaijingu Betsugu)

Both Takiharanomiya and Takihara Nami Shrine enshrine the spirit of Amaterasu-Omikami, and have been revered as ``Haruka Shrine'' since ancient times. Takiharanomiya is different from other Betsugu in many ways, such as having two separate annex Betsugu located side by side and also having a Mifune storehouse.
Inside the shrine grounds, the approach path is surrounded by cedar trees that are over several hundred years old, and the Mitaraiba, which utilizes the flow of valley water, is reminiscent of Naiku and transports you back to the days of the gods.
It is common to visit Takiharanomiya and then Takihara Nami Shrine in that order.
