Amaterasu Jinja

Amaterasu Shrine, quietly nestled in Nakatoge, Abiko, enshrines Amaterasu-Omikami, the sun deity. This deity is a great god who illuminates all things and is the source of life. It is said to have gathered the faith of the local people since ancient times, praying for the peace of their daily lives. In the quiet precincts, sunlight gently filters through the trees, filling the air with a pleasant silence. The shrine buildings, while simple, possess a sacred atmosphere and soothe the hearts of visitors. The goshuin contains divine protection as bright as sunlight.
