文化的背景
Narigami Shrine is revered for its association with the mythical Kusanagi sword, one of Japan's Three Imperial Regalia. According to legend, Narigami no Kami guided the sword to its resting place in the mountain, and pilgrims can still make offerings at the shrine's summit.
歴史
Narigami Shrine was built in the late Heian period (approx. 950-1185 CE), during a time when the Shinto shrines were established to worship kami associated with mountains and natural landmarks.
