Eda Shrine

〒880-0835 宮崎県宮崎市阿波岐原町産母127

4.4(816)

This shrine is known as the birthplace of Misogi (ritual purification), believed to be the site where Izanagi-no-Mikoto performed his purification rites. It enshrines the two deities of childbirth, Uba-ni-shira-Daimyojin.

History

Located at 'Awa-no-Kihara,' the site of Izanagi-no-Mikoto's purification described in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, it is traditionally regarded as the origin of Misogi (purification rituals). Once holding the highest divine rank of Sho-i-i and boasting significant influence as a representative shrine of Hyuga Province, it declined after losing its buildings to a tsunami caused by the 1662 Gaisho earthquake. It was designated as a Prefectural Shrine during the Meiji era.
