Kokuzo Shrine is a historic sacred shrine standing quietly in the deep forest of Aso. This shrine has been deeply respected by local people as a place that conveys the history of Aso's gods to the present. The silence of the precinct and the deep history signs that trees have continued to protect bring overwhelming peace to visiting travelers.

Time to fold hands in sacred air, face yourself quietly, forgetting daily fatigue, and will surely fill your soul deeply.
