 <\/p>\n

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 fourth part of our series on power spots in Nara (\u22c8\u25cd\uff1e\u25e1\uff1c\u25cd)\u2727\u2661<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[Tanzan Shrine (Sakurai City)]<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is known as the place where the Taika Reforms were discussed, and Fujiwara no Kamatari is enshrined here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was called “Kataraiyama” (Discussion Mountain) because he and Prince Nakano Oe held secret talks about reforming the country on this mountain, and this is where the shrine name came from\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Within the temple grounds is the thirteen-story pagoda, which was built to commemorate Fujiwara Kamatari. <\/strong>
\nIt is the only surviving wooden thirteen-story pagoda in the world and is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tanzan Shrine is home to the goddess of marriage, Kagami-no-Hime, and is famous for its blessings in finding love (\u22c8\u25cd\uff1e\u25e1\uff1c\u25cd). \u2727\u2661<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Princess Kagami is enshrined at Koijinja Shrine (official name Higashiden) at the end of the approach to the shrine, Koi no Michi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fujiwara no Kamatari’s wife Princess Kagami lived a happy life here, so she is enshrined as the goddess of marriage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next to Koi Shrine, there is a power spot called “Musubi no Iwaza” where a god resides\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is said to bring good luck not only in love but also in human relationships(*\u00b4\ua4b3`*)\ud83c\udf19\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s also famous as a place to see cherry blossoms and autumn leaves\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you visit at the peak of the season, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery even more\ud83c\udfb6<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[Tamaki Shrine (Totsukawa Village)]<\/strong><\/p>\n

This ancient shrine is said to have begun in 37 BC during the reign of Emperor Sujin, when Hayatama-no-kami was enshrined there to protect the royal palace from fires and ward off evil spirits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since ancient times, it has been one of the training grounds for the Kumano-Omine Shugendo pilgrimage that stretches from Kumano to Yoshino (*\u00b4\ua4b3`*)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is said to have been the innermost sanctuary of the Kumano Sanzan during the Edo period, and flourished as a great sacred place of Shugendo\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2004, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range”\ud83c\udfb6<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tamaki Shrine is located near the summit of Mount Tamaki, which is 1,076 meters above sea level and is one of the sacred mountains of the Omine mountain range.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A pure white jade stone is enshrined within the grounds of the subordinate shrine Tamaishi-sha!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This stone is known as a power spot, and is said to be the origin of the name Tamaki.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to the main hall, there are various other shrines within the grounds, including the auxiliary shrine, Mitsuhashira Shrine, and the subordinate shrine, Tamaishi Shrine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The surrounding Jindai cedars and giant cedar trees are designated as natural monuments by the prefecture.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shrine office is a designated tangible important cultural property of the nation (\u22c8\u25cd\uff1e\u25e1\uff1c\u25cd). \u2727\u2661<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a very rare shrine with the divine power to ward off evil spirits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is said that in the past, exorcisms of demons were performed on the imperial family here. \ud83c\udfb5<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may be a source of support for those who have been unlucky or who have important events coming up, such as entering college or getting a job. \u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is also said that Tamaki Shrine is a shrine that you cannot reach unless you are called by the gods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, you may be granted some kind of blessing when you visit\u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n
