I visited a shrine in the mountains at an altitude of 1102 meters

This shrine has been called one of the most amazing power spots in Kanto (eastern area of Japan).
That's why people come from all over Japan to visit here

It's a prestigious shrine and everything is gorgeous↓

They are the Seven Lucky Gods of Japan's famous gods

This is the place to wash your hands↓

![IMG_-ulzymx.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRzUVUYpf42Auigdnem3QxFtNjFuzb3F5dCDYW7HN6QB6/IMG_-ulzymx.jpg)
Engraved with legendary creatures such as dragons and phoenixes

And here is shrine
![IMG_-demrz3.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNpzn2t7omNFqZ1acRCx8qDS6TD9WMbTvsC2Vqkswne5p/IMG_-demrz3.jpg)

Name is Mitsumine-shrine
![IMG_-kilk8j.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUoPR2oky3FTEppipdS7CnNp3JbbuWUML54P2Wapx1ist/IMG_-kilk8j.jpg)
Most shrines are 1300 years old, but this one was built over 1900 years ago!
There are very few shrines with such a long history


![IMG_-bzdj68.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQ4QAhbHJFA4YQRDaTi941J5oaXGZ9ikeQn16qLhHxnhC/IMG_-bzdj68.jpg)

This video is the view around the shrine!↓
You can hear the sound of drums in the shrine as the purification ceremony is just starting. A precious moment

A dragon appears on the ground in front of the shrine↓
![IMG_-t8ub0a.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNjcErjHZ3BCSVzvecKWLrZVfieTMKPSYaBsyT8BaiaSq/IMG_-t8ub0a.jpg)
The dragon's face is facing left and has two red eyes↓


![IMG_-rpa22n.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeQdwKSFB8wZyTVbKtx2QqX9s2yRFcUmLxTQZ3HsEM7RL/IMG_-rpa22n.jpg)

It's miracle of dragon's god

![IMG_-fckwex.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRzBMjQdbkNKhDf7bSe6PEeJ2sNdbKqVzjhozuEeyt4pk/IMG_-fckwex.jpg)

It seems that they are something collaborating with three animes set in Chichibu ...
I have never seen all three🤣↓

![IMG_-3tmnhk.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmerXT4trVzLX83uBRvEJdEtSmYc6JkJyZXsgpXLMn9bZt/IMG_-3tmnhk.jpg)

There are several shrines in the precincts.
Other shrines are also gorgeous

![IMG_-eo1g19.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUskgyyCSYWbpUzyAqabrixx5XGW2PA26bi5SiBwoRUFy/IMG_-eo1g19.jpg)


This shrine is a branch of "Ise Jingu" which has the highest status in Japan↓
![IMG_t70r4b.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXXMrNaGFKrrdE46DxDDrTyiD1iajCvnDDGDWsYY6Mr8w/IMG_t70r4b.jpg)
A foreigner who visited Japan 150 years ago said.
"Why is Japan's most high-status god a humble wooden shrine?"

Our answer is this.
"It is those of the highest rank who need to try to live a simple life so that they can be an example of how to live as citizens"


![IMG_mjrpco.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSjisKMQ2QxJe4px8aAeqYQJtVC1mHuxZAnWLGZw9aTUD/IMG_mjrpco.jpg)

Many gods live here↓

![IMG_ulzoql.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmb5C1jyW8R2Wa1QBE3oo1bjEShvUtPpS8aBrbT22hymJD/IMG_ulzoql.jpg)

Sorry, It was so dark that I couldn't take a clear picture of the tree😅
 
![IMG_-25fym1.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeLb3ynhyhtxs2YkNYLToUJTdVMWox1tWYZQKHUGbBeaM/IMG_-25fym1.jpg)

They are the gods who gave birth to Japan
Izanagi and Izanami

![IMG_-j7ccrs.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRmL2mUAS167JYDmGQeCmgPkAozfSMikoiJBUijDMD9FM/IMG_-j7ccrs.jpg)

I always visit this shrine every year.
I may visit here again as it will soon be a beautiful season of autumn colors😊
