Izuminokuni Ichinomiya Otori Grand Shrine
This shrine is one of the Five Izumi Shrines, the grand Shinto shrines which people visit mainly to pray for disaster prevention. The two deities worshipped here are Yamato Takeru no Mikoto and Otori no Muraji no Oyagami. The shrine covers over 12 acres of land, and the vast Chigusa no Mori forest contains ancient camphor trees which are over 800 years old. People flock to see the traditional festivals held here, such as the flower-picking festival, which began in the Heian period for people to pray for good health, and the Otori Danjiri festival, which is said to be the original Danjiri festival.
