History
The Hanakushi Shrine in Arima, Kumano, is among Japan's most ancient sacred places. This location is revered as the source of creation and life itself, where the divine couple Izanami and Izanagi performed their cosmic acts of creation. The spiritual power emanating from this sacred ground is profound and transformative. Pilgrims from across Japan come to experience the ancient energy that has been concentrated here since the birth of the islands themselves.
