Sayano Shrine

〒889-4414 宮崎県西諸県郡高原町蒲牟田117

4.5(704)

Located in Takahara Town, Miyazaki Prefecture, this shrine takes its name from Sayano-no-Mikoto, the childhood name of Emperor Jimmu. It is also one of the six shrines comprising Kirishima Rokusho Gongen.

History

It is said to have been founded at the foot of Ohji-hara, the birthplace of Emperor Jimmu. Some accounts suggest it was relocated to escape volcanic eruptions from Mount Kirishima. After repeated destruction by eruptions and subsequent relocations, the shrine was moved to its current site in 1610 CE (Keicho 15). Although it once served as a branch shrine of Miyazaki Jingu, it has since regained its independence and is now listed as a special shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines.
