Nara is a historic land with many World Heritage sites and national treasure buildings\"\u2763\"\"\u2763\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ancient city of Nara has many historic temples and shrines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among these, there are several places known as \u201cpower spots\u201d\"\u2728\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today we will be introducing the third part of our series on power spots in Nara (\u22c8\u25cd\uff1e\u25e1\uff1c\u25cd)\u2727\u2661<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Shigisan Chogosonshi Ji Temple (Heguri Town, Ikoma District)]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded by Prince Shotoku in 587<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Prince Shotoku visited this mountain to pray for victory during his campaign against Mononobe no Moriya,<\/strong><\/p>\n

King Bishamonten appeared in the sky and bestowed upon him a treasure to ensure victory, after which he won brilliantly\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

He carved a statue of King Bishamonten himself, built a temple, and named it “Shigisan” as a “mountain to be trusted and revered”\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since King Bishamonten appeared in the year of the tiger, on the day of the tiger, and at the hour of the tiger, the tiger is worshipped\ud83d\udc2f<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, in 910, during the reign of Emperor Daigo, the emperor prayed to Bishamonten for recovery from illness and immediately recovered \ud83c\udfb5<\/strong><\/p>\n

It came to be called “Chogosonshiji Temple” as a place of prayer for the peace of the Imperial Court, the protection of the land, and the longevity of descendants<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since then, it has been called Shigisan Chogosonshiji Temple \u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Immediately after entering the grounds, there is a huge 6m long papier-mache tiger called “The World’s Greatest Fukutora” \ud83d\udc05<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you walk through the grounds, you will find tigers everywhere, and you can see a variety of tigers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The lucky “Paper Tiger” is given as a talisman.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The way it shakes its head back and forth means “a good head turns = no problems, brings wishes”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The brave gestures of the tiger are also said to ward off evil\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, since ancient times, it has been called “Mitsutora no Fuku” (fun of three tigers), and it is said that having three tigers together is very auspicious and increases your benefits\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The shrine is especially famous for its financial luck and business prosperity!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It also has a wide range of benefits, including protection from misfortune, protection from evil, health and longevity, safety in the home, road safety, and matchmaking\ud83c\udfb5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tenkawa Shrine, located in a hidden area of \u200b\u200bNara, is a power spot that is considered to be in an exceptional location from the perspective of feng shui\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tenkawa Shrine is located in the middle of a triangle connecting the three famous sacred mountains of Japan, “Koyasan,” “Yoshinoyama,” and “Kumano”\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
