- Kashihara Jingu Shrine
- Travel / Tourism
- Nara Pref. Kashiharashi Kumechou 934
- This shrine is dedicated to Emperor Jimmu and his wife. The shrine was erected by Emperor Meiji in 1890 based on the Nihon Shoki, one of Japan’s oldest history books, which records that the Emperor Jimmu was enthroned at the site. Located at the foot of Mt. Unebi, the hinoki bark thatched, bare-wood main shrine and kagura hall harmonize perfectly with the thick and verdant forest which surround the shrine’s gravel path. The main shrine was a sanctuary in the Kyoto Imperial Palace that was moved here.

- Nara Pref. Kashiharashi Minamiurachou 722
- This shrine located at the foot of Mt. Kaguyama enshrines the Amenoiwaya, also known as the Amanoiwato, a massive stone said to contain the spirit of the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami. While it does not have a main shrine, the shrine has a tradition called nanahon-dake no fushigi (the mystery of the seven bamboo plants) in which seven bamboo plants on the grounds shrivel and die and are replaced by seven new bamboo plants every year.

Nara Areas
With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
