▶️Takaoka Shrine (Takaoka, Shonai-cho, Yubu City, Oita Prefecture 📍)
[Take 1]
At the top of Mt. Kuraki, clouds flashed and thunder shook the valleys ⚡
From that moment of mystery, the story of Takaoka Shrine begins.
In the 7th year of Tencho (830), the villagers felt that this Chery was a sign of the divine spirit and worshiped it as Hoshidake Myokengu to enshrine the stars 🌠
Eventually, in the first year of Jowa (834), the shrine was moved to the present place and started a long history as a guardian god of Takaoka.
Here.
It is a special place where the faith that connects the stars, thunder, heaven and earth breathes.
