Kirishima Shinto shrine

Kirishima Shinto shrine was built in the 6th century
After being damaged many times by eruption and fire, it was rebuilt in its present location in 1715 from a dedication by Shimazu Yoshitaka.
It has been in its present form for 300 years.
In 1989, it was designated as an important cultural property of Japan.
The vermilion-lacquered shrine pavilion appears on the approach to the temple, which is lined with trees.

Recommended: spring and fall


The large tree next to the precinct is a sight to behold!

The origin of this power spot must be this sacred tree.
It is said to be a sacred tree, and when you see it in person, you will be overwhelmed by its presence.
We hope you will see it in person.
Please stop by when you visit Koshikano onsen.
