History
Kagami Jinja in Karatsu is an ancient shrine valued by the region as having connections to Empress Jingu. True to its name, there are traditional accounts related to "mirrors," and it is said to possess miraculous power to reflect truth and ward off evil. As the protective deity of the Karatsu region, it has a long history of watching over the lives of local people. The quiet grounds are ideal for calming the mind, allowing visitors to offer their prayers with a heart as clear as a mirror. It is a hidden gem of Karatsu where ancient faith lives on.
