Mikami Shrine is a very old shrine which originates before 718 A.D. and the main building is one of the national treasures. It appears in the old legend. Amanomikagenomikoto, one of god, is enshrined. It seems to have connection with Ise Shrine in Mie Prefecture.
This is the main buiding, a national treasure:
The shrine is very old but the buildings were said to be built in Kamakura era, possibly about 700 years ago. They are unique because they have Buddhist temple architectural style is mixed.
There is a place to worship Emperor Jinmu, the first Emperor.
Maybe this is for rice planting and harvest rituals.
This shrine is at the bottom of Mt. Mikami.
Mikami Shrine is not very accessible by train.
