Serving as the Ichinomiya (highest ranking shrine) of Iki City and boasting the premier prestigious rank across the entire island, "Amenotanagao Shrine" is a highly historic, deeply venerable ancient site. Enshrined upon a scenic, small hill, ascending the beautiful stone steps that tell tales of profound history reveals the solemn shrine structures preserving sophisticated, traditional Japanese architectural beauty waiting quietly to greet you. From the precinct, you can look out across the peaceful surrounding streets and landscapes of rich nature, and refreshing, crisp breezes blowing through gently heal travel fatigue. Having been fervently worshiped also by historical feudal lords who ruled this land to continuously pray for border peace, this sanctuary is still filled with deep, compassionate energy today. Breathing deeply and folding hands in complete silence completely eliminates busy daily life, charging fresh inner strength.
