Kirishima-Jingu Shrine
Ministry of Environment
Tokyo, Japan
The primary deity of this shrine is Ninigi-no-Mikoto (grandson of the goddess Amaterasu, founder of Japan). Initially the shrine sat on Mt. Takachiho-no-mine, but due to the mountain's volcanic activity, the shrine was moved via the Takachiho Dry River Bed and rebuilt in its current location. Visitors come all year round to worship at this venerable place.
