The oldest Shinto Shrine in Japan, enshrining the Kamis Izanagi-no-mikoto and Izanami-no-mikoto, who feature in Japan’s creation. This Shinto Shrine is the legendary site of the dwelling of Izanagi-no-mikoto, who accomplished all the godly feats beginning at the creation of Japan, and is visited by worshippers for its solemn divinity. In 2004, 9 Kami statues were discovered. The representations of Izanami-no-mikoto are believed to be from the Heian to Kamakura periods.
