Ichinomiya in Kii Province, which is registered as a World Heritage Site

#aprilblooms It is said that it has a history of about 1700 years, and it is an ancient shrine that is registered as a World Heritage Site as one of the constituent heritages of the "Sacred Sites and Shrines of the Kii Mountains" that combine Mt. Koya, Kumano, Yoshino, etc. It is the first shrine in Kii Province, and there are about 180 main shrines of Nyu Tsuhime Shrine throughout the country. It enshrines Nyu Tsuhime Omikami, who gave Kobo Daishi a divine territory to build Kongobu-ji Temple, and is said to be the general guard of Mt. Koya. The main hall, which is designated as an important cultural property of the country, has four Kasuga-zukuri shrines in a horizontal row, and four gods, including Nyu Tsuhime Omikami, are enshrined. Restoration work was carried out in 2014, and the same colour scheme as in the early Edo period was applied. In addition, the tower gate in front of the main hall is also an important cultural property designated by the country.
